As always, the 2020 Les Argiles is a Vouvray in all but the eyes of the French bureaucrats - the grapes are made into wine across the river from Vouvray and no longer qualify for appellation status. It's a supple style from a clay-rich parcel with a deep straw hue. It offers up succulent, smooth texture and ripe, generous fragrant fruit. Acid and phenolics create its acid create its frame, holding it all in place and providing shape and structure. This is already drinking well. I suggested a drinking window to 2035 last year when I tasted pre-release, but now it might be better to bring that forward.
