Remy Pannier 2010 Vouvray From Loire Valley, France


This is a poor wine at any price. At first whiff, the bar for this wine is set low, but the taste is even worse (there's a hint of blue cheese in there). The taste of alcohol stands out as just that – alcohol – and the sweetness of the wine is not what you would expect of the great Chenic Blanc whites that come from the Loire Valley. It’s sweet like a tray of mass produced Italian cookies. Only the aftertaste is somewhat normal. Very disappointing. 

Paid $14.99 at Kings Cellars in Brooklyn

P.S. There are excellent Loire Valley wines at this price point, this is not one of them.
