Tasting Notes
Marc Bredif Vouvray Grande Annee 1990 is a sublime 100% Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley. Every now and then Marc Bredif releases some library vintages of their top wines. This medium sweet Vouvray is excellent, packed with lots of sweet, honeyed, spicy notes yet with amazingly fresh acidity.
Marc Bredif, with its majestic cellars in the heart of the Touraine, has been one of the most famous Vouvray and Chinon houses since 1893. When Baron Patrick de Ladoucette took over the house in 1980, he breathed new life into the century old winery, while preserving its traditions. Today, Marc Bredif continues to produce Vouvray and Chinon wines of the finest quality. The history of the wines of Vouvray is directly linked to the religious history of Touraine. From the 4th century onwards, the monks owned most of the vineyards, including the best growths. The cellars of Marc Bredif are among the biggest and most beautiful of the appellation and the digging of the Tuffé hillsides to make them
