Fresh, floral and melony...but with surprising limestone minerality, intensity and structure. This is excellent dry Vouvray that also happens to be quite inexpensive, given the high quality. Over the years, the Chenin Blancs of Vouvray have gotten a bit of Riesling's bad old rep of being sweetish, simple wines, yet the complexity, variety and value found in this central Loire Valley treasure trove run the gamut from dry, bracing and almost Burgundian in complexity (as in the Vouvray Sec of Margalleau), to semi-sweet, to super-sweet and touched with noble rot...to even Méthode Champenoise sparklers!
