Presentation
The Vouvray appellation exclusively accepts the Chenin blanc grape variety for the production of its wines. Our Vouvray Baron Tufier vintages are the product of meticulous hand harvesting, gentle vinification and careful aging in our tufa galleries. The work of our winegrowers allows us to choose the best grapes from the appellation in order to create unique blends for our vintages.
Location
The Vouvray appellation covers 2,250 hectares spread over 8 communes on the right bank of the Loire, on the plateaus and hillsides overlooking the river. The plots of our vintage are located around the communes of Rochecorbon and Vouvray.
Terroir
The grapes for the Vouvray Brut Baron Tufier cuvée come from a selection of clay-limestone terroir and tuffeau, a soft, white stone emblematic of the region and ideal for growing vines.
The local, temperate climate gives soft maturity, sweetness and acidity to our vintage.

Winemaking
The harvests are delicately done by hand. Gentle pressing and fermentation at cool temperature (18°C) allow good aroma preservation. A second fermentation in the bottle according to the Traditional Method gives it finesse and elegance.
Ageing
The 12 months of aging on slats before disgorging provide incomparable bubble finesse.
