  This ripe and full wine is balanced and textured. A mineral background gives a crisp character to the ripe yellow and pear fruit flavors. With long aging on lees, the wine has weight and richness. It should be aged further and drunk from 2016.

  One of the top Vouvray sparkling wines, this 2012 is still young. That gives it almond, quince and pear flavors along with intense bright acidity. It is still missing the richer, toasty character that will come with age. Drink from 2016.

  One of the best sparkling wines to come from the Loire, this is a classically driven wine, packed with tingling acidity along with some toastiness and apple fruits. The wine is still fresh and could age a few more months in bottle.

  This sparkling Vouvray has weight and richness, balanced by intense acidity and a crisp green-salad texture. Lemon zest and quince flavors add the fruit element. It will benefit from another two years in bottle.

  Ripe and creamy, a classic sparkling Vouvray showing well in a cool year. It has weight and richness as well as fresh nuts and spice flavors, with just a touch of pepper. The acidity is well in balance.

• 200591 pts

  One of the best sparkling Vouvrays, this 2005 vintage has an extra richness from the year. It has the mineral, chalky edge of Chenin Blanc, but this is rounded out with pear, white peach and sweet almond flavors. Good to drink now, but also worth aging for 2–3 years.

  There's a serious side to this impressive wine, with its toast and biscuit flavors layered on top of apple acidity. It has richness as well as crispness, and a depth of flavor which promises some bottle aging potential. One of the best sparkling Vouvrays.
