Let's continue our stopover in Vouvray with the discovery of what made the reputation of the city: its sparkling wines. De Chanceny Rendez-vous is a fine and elegant cuvée. After an ageing period of more than 40 months on laths, in the coolness of the tufa galleries, the aromas become more complex. The perfect balance between strength and delicacy is finally found.
