Coming Soon - 1990 Marc Bredif Grande Annee Vouvray

The domaine of Marc Bredif is one of the most famous names in the Loire, renowned for the longevity and quality of their Vouvray. Established in 1893 under the name of Chateau les Roches it wasn't until 1919 when Marc Bredif took over from his uncle, that the name was changed to reflect the change in ownership.

Marc Bredif produces three levels of Vouvray, each with a greater degree of concentration and sweetness. Their Classic range is crisp and fresh in style, dry and refreshing. Occasionally they will also release this wine after 10 years in the cellar as a museum release. Grande Annee is their off-dry style released only once ready to drink, often 10+ years from harvest. Finally their Collection releases come from only the finest vintages, are medium-sweet, with a huge amount of intensity and concentration, and an enviable ability to develop further in the cellar.

The 1990 vintage in Vouvray is considered one of the greats, producing wines of exceptional richness, balance, and longevity. A warm, dry growing season with ideal harvest conditions led to perfectly ripened Chenin Blanc, resulting in wines with both concentration and vibrant acidity. Dry and off-dry Vouvrays from this year are powerful yet refined, with deep fruit expression, floral and honeyed nuances, and a strong mineral backbone. Even decades later, 1990 Vouvrays continue to age gracefully, cementing their place among the finest of the region.
