Greg Hughes rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

Vouvray is a tiny commune east of Tours, in the Loire Valley. They utilize very special porous touffeau soils to produce unique and long lived sparkling and still Chenin Blanc. This example is still and done in a sweeter style ( some are dry).
This one is young and has a pale yellow hue. Aromatocally, there are classic honey, wax, and yellow apple aromas to it.
One of Chenin's trademarks is ripping acidity, which is apparent here. More citrus and apple, with faint whiffs of honey and oat coming thrugh on the finish.
This wil lage and develop well in the midterm. Expect it to mellow out and integrate those soft, inviting aromas with the aggressive palate.
It's pair really well with cauliflower or corn chowder. This is a fun one for harder cheeses too.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
