Presentation
The Chenin blanc grape variety, harvested gently, sublimated by the chalk terroir, and left to mature in our tufa galleries for more than two years, expresses itself through a very nice aromatic complexity and a rare elegance.
Location
The vineyards overlook the Loire, around the communes of Vouvray and Rochecorbon near the city of Tours.
Terroir
Our Vouvray "Excellence" cuvée is made from grapes grown in vineyards located on a limestone plateau, overlooking the Loire River. The Chenin Blanc grapes, harvested with great care, sublimated by the chalk terroir and aged in our tufa cellars for over two years express their quality in a lovely aromatic complexity and unusual elegance.
Winemaking
Gentle pressing and fermentation at a cool temperature (18°C) allowing good preservation of the aromas. Second fermentation in the bottle according to the Traditional Method after selection of the best juices.
Ageing
The minimum 24 months of storage on laths before disgorging brings an incomparable finesse of bubble.
Varietal
Chenin blanc : 100%
