Viniou Reviews
The "Cuvée Catherine Michel Langlois 2017" is a delightful white wine hailing from the renowned Val de Loire appellation in the Loire Valley, France. This region is known for producing fresh and vibrant wines thanks to its unique blend of climatic influences, ranging from maritime to continental, and diverse terroirs. Although specific details about the blend and vinification techniques aren't provided, the region typically favours lively, aromatic wines with a good balance of acidity and sweetness, especially in demi-sec varieties. The 2017 vintage is noted for its quality and expressiveness, promising a wine with excellent ageing potential and vibrant character.
To complement the wine's likely fruity and floral notes and balanced sweetness, consider pairing it with dishes such as creamy goat cheese, seafood like scallops or prawns, or white meats in light sauces. For a regional touch, you might enjoy it with rillettes de Touraine or a traditional Tarte Tatin, enhancing both the wine's and the dish's flavours.
For an optimal tasting experience, serve this wine at a slightly chilled temperature of around 10-12°C. A brief decanting of about 15-20 minutes can help open up its aromatic profile. Begin by examining its hue and clarity, then inhale deeply to capture its bouquet. On tasting, allow the wine to coat your palate, noting the interplay of sweetness, acidity, and any distinctive fruit or floral nuances.
