100% Chenin Blanc    12.5% ABV

Vouvray is one of the greatest appellations of Loire Valley, known for producing white wines that range from bone-dry to unctiously sweet, and sparklers from bone-dry to off-dry.  The tuffeau (chalky soil) adds to the complexity of the wines and caves carved from tuffeau are the perfect place to store wine as it ages.  Les Lys (The Lilies) is produced by the Cave des Producteurs de Vouvray, a cooperative founded in 1953.  12.6 grams/liter residual sugar means that this wine is off-dry (aka a little sweet).  Aged in stainless steel.  Golden apple, apricot, honeysuckle, roasted almonds.

Food Pairing Suggestions:
This delightfully off dry white pairs wonderfully with everything under the sea from tuna and avocado tartare and smoked salmon to sushi, raw oysters, crispy crab cakes drizzled with Remoulade, flash fried calamari and even traditional fish and chips. If you’re staying on dry land this fall, try a refreshing glass with a crisp salad topped with apples and goat cheese, braised pork tacos topped with avocado slices and spicy peanut sauce, honey-glazed chicken wings, chicken and sausage Jambalaya, creamy risotto with peas or pasta shells tossed with fresh asparagus and goat cheese. Or simply enjoy a glass with Bûcheron, Crottin, or Brillat‐Savarin.
