2011 Domaine des Aubuisieres Cuvee de Silex Vouvray Paired with 2 Caviars from Lady Elena Caviar

The wine is 100% Chenin Blanc. Domaine  des Aubuisieresis located in the heart of Vouvray in the Loire Valley in France with vineyards planted on clayish silicious soils.

The wine has a straw gold color. There are aromas of lime,chalk, honey and oranges. The wine on the palate is soft and filled with lime and honey. The finish is slightly dry with chalk notes and then becomes mouthwatering.

Lady Elena Caviar and Wine Pairing

The 8th Pearl Caviar (Kaluga Hybrid): The caviar brings out the fruit in the wine with some slight salinity. The wine slowly cleanses the palate with a dry finish. A great Lady Elena Caviar pairing.

Elegance (Golden Osetra): The wine covers over the caviar, cleans the palate with a slight dry chalk finish. A good Lady Elena Caviar pairing.
