Critics Ratings
'The 1989 Domaine de Pouvray is just brilliant and has held its own in blind tastings against the greats of Domaine Huet. Typically demi-sec Vouvray in character, it’s bright, textured and mineral with masses of yellow fruit, straw and a hint of spice. The off-dry mid-palate is seamlessly balanced, finishing in a long, dry and savoury tail. Along with the fine 2002, the 1989 will keep ageing for another decade or two.' - Wine Cellar
'There aren't many Domaines that have commercial stock as mature as this. The wine is holding up incredibly well, if you tasted blind you have no idea that this wine is 32 years old. Straw gold in colour with that gorgeous, fusty, Chenin nose, and a little kiss of sweetness left just to remind you that it's Demi-Sec.' - Noblegrape.co.uk (2021)
