1990 Gauthier-Lhomme Domaine du Viking Vouvray Tendre

SKU #1024340

93 points Wine Spectator: "Great aromas of lemon zest and fresh flowers, this has the mature, burnished feel you'd expect from a 1990, with excellent cut to its candied citrus, chamomile and dried pineapple flavors. Long, stony finish has an alluring smoky hint. Drink now through 2010. 2,000 cases made." (05/06)

Additional Information:

Varietal:

Chenin Blanc

- One of the most versatile white grape varieties, Chenin Blanc is known for producing some of the best, longest living sweet wines, not at all similar to the general table wines that often come from California's Central Valley (though California has a few producers attempting to emulate the high quality sweet Chenin Blancs produced in the Loire Valley). Originating in the Loire Valley, Chenin Blanc has the most plantings in South Africa, where it is used as a base for everyday commercial wines. Here is a list of our bestselling Chenin Blanc.
Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them. Click for a list of bestselling items from all of France.
Sub-Region:

Loire

- Of all of the French wine producing regions, the Loire might produces the greatest variety of wines. They range from still to sparkling, very dry and acidic to hearty sweet, and clear in color to a deep purple. The diversity of wine produced in this region is due in part to its dynamic climate, which ranges from Continental to Mediterranean. This region is best known for Sauvignon blanc, Chenin blanc and Cabernet Franc. The most famous areas in the Loire Valley may be Sancerre and Vouvray.
