Alain Robert Vouvray Sec "Les Charmes" 2024, 0,75 L

A wine that leaves a lasting impression: Les Charmes from Alain Robert is one of those Chenin Blancs that truly linger in the memory. From the very first tasting, this Loire gem captivated us — it simply has it all: tension, balance, and pure drinking pleasure.

Here, an exciting grape variety meets ideal terroir. The result is a Chenin Blanc that immediately draws you in with aromas of yellow fruit, apple, and citrus, all underpinned by a cool, elegant minerality that invites the first sip.

On the palate, it's juicy, fresh, and vibrant, brimming with fruit, lively acidity, and that distinct mineral edge for which the Loire is so renowned. The finish is citrus-bright, and the aftertaste is long and precise — clean, clear, and elegant.

One of the best parts? Unlike many Vouvrays that need years to reach their peak, Les Charmes is already delightful to drink now, yet still offers excellent ageing potential. It’s no surprise that Vinum consistently ranks all of Alain Robert’s wines among the best in the region.

An ideal match for fish, poultry, vegetable dishes, or simply enjoyed on its own as an elegant aperitif, this is a Chenin Blanc that proves just how much class and character the Loire Valley delivers today.
