FEATURES
🏰 Marc Bredif has been one of the 【most famous Vouvray and Chinon houses since 1893, known for its majestic cellars and troglodytical (cave-like) cellars offering extraordinary wine storage conditions】. This Marc Bredif Vouvray Collection 1970, a very old vintage, would present as a mature, complex white wine, likely with a deep golden hue. Expect evolved aromas of green apple, white pear, subtle honey, potentially developing into orange blossom, dried hay, crabapple, and lime peel. The palate would be crisp and lively with vibrant acidity, offering flavors of ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and a hint of minerality, with honeyed and waxy undertones.
🍴 Pairs exceptionally well with fresh seafood (grilled prawns, scallops), roasted poultry, light pork dishes, veal medallions, and various cheeses (goat cheese, Brie, Camembert, Comté). Also suitable for pork rillettes, freshwater fish, Thai or Vietnamese dishes, and fruit tarts.
🥂 A rare and aged white wine, suitable for a special anniversary, a sophisticated dinner, or a tasting focused on aged Chenin Blanc.
Serving Note: This 1970 Vouvray is a testament to the aging potential of Chenin Blanc. Handle with care when opening, as the cork and capsule may be delicate. Decanting is recommended to allow the wine to open up and to remove any sediment that may have formed over decades. Serve chilled, but not overly cold (around 10-12°C), to allow its complex aromas and flavors to shine.
