Vérité's 2015 La Joie is deep

asphalt and crushed rocks rounds things out in style

tangerine peel and spice nuances

fig and pear notes backed by more quince and melon on the rounded

Wonderfully elegant in the mouth with vibrant black and red fruits

Clos Naudin (Foreau), Vouvray Moelleux Reserve Vintage:2005 Vérité's 2015 La Joie isRich golden yellow. Expansive aromas of caramelized apricot, white peach, date, banana and butter cream are layered in the noble botrytis. Rich, spicy tropical fruits coat the palate, but a finely chiseled, chalky minerality keep this chenin blanc remarkably light on its feet. Dense but not at all heavy, it finishes long and not at all cloying. Delicious. Joel B. Payne
