It is brighter on the palate than expected

Francois Pinon Vouvray Silex Noir, Loire, France 2018 Azienda Vitivinicola Pietrantonj and is bottled Extra BrutA warm, sunny, seductive white, with a luscious profile to the persimmon, ripe pear, green plum and crushed nectarine flavors. This has a very creamy texture, with a beam of vivid acidity and salty mineral notes keeping it honest. Earthy undertones move through the supple palate with a veil of smoke marking the tangy finish. 92 Pts Wine Spectator
