The golden-yellow colored 2017 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Sec opens with a fine yet concentrated nose with notes of finely milled limestones and chalk intertwined with lime zest and lemon juice aromas—pure, precise and fine, with a lovely hint of reduction. Lush, precise and highly refined, this is a round, juicy, very elegant, pure, vital, chalky and persistently salty Vouvray with great mineral tension and a frisky, endless, salty finish. The Clos de Bourg is tight and mercilessly pure, with mineral vibrancy and a highly stimulating, even mouthwatering finish. Very fine tannins and great balance give this wine huge aging potential — 20 years or more.
