Vouvray
Vouvray, an excellent Loire Valley wine
Between west of Nantes and east of Sancerre lies the Loire Valley and the 3rd largest wine-growing region, called Vouvray. 70,000 hectares of vineyards in the Centre, Touraine, Anjou and Nantais regions produce white, red, rosé, sparkling and still wines. Vouvray wine covers 8 communes and 3,000 hectares, of which 2,200 are in production. The vineyards can be seen on plateaus and hillsides overlooking the Brenne and Loire valleys. The cellars are nestled in the Tuffeau stone.100% Chenin Vouvray
100% Chenin is a highly prized grape variety that gives the Vouvray white wine. The vines grow in a temperate climate until the grapes are mature, and their sugar content and acidity give this Vouvray a perfect balance. This Vouvray wine is vinified into fine bubbles once the noble rot, or botrytis, has allowed the aroma-rich grapes to be picked. When the vinification period is over, this Sweet Vouvray is then consumed with many delicious dishes and is the perfect accompaniment to desserts or foie gras.Method of vinification of Chenin de Vouvray wine
The fruity Vouvray Chenin Blanc wine contains fine bubbles. This effervescence is obtained using a traditional method known as the "Méthode Champenoise". The wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle, known as prise de mousse. A natural gas is produced during fermentation, which mixes with the wine to produce the fine bubbles. Maturation lasts twelve months on laths in the Tuffeau cellars. This Sparkling Vouvray is different from other fine bubbly wines in that its effervescence is lighter. It is classified as A.O.P. and is available in bottles of Vouvray brutsemi-dry, dry or mellow.Quiet Vouvray
This still Vouvray is so named in contrast to the fine-bubble Vouvray. It is produced from the first natural fermentation of grape juice. Vouvray tranquille is made from Chenin Blanc grapes grown in clay-limestone soil in a temperate climate. The grapes are harvested when the weather is dry and sunny, to limit the risk of disease and rot. Vouvray Tranquille wine can be dry, semi-dry, sweet or even a Vouvray moelleux when its sugar content reaches or exceeds 60 g of sugar, which can go up to more than 100 g per liter.Buy the best Vouvray wines in private sale!

96/100 RVF
"Made from botrytized and passerillé grapes, the quintessential estate wine, Cuvée Réserve is only produced in exceptional vintages. For this reason, Vincent and Philippe Foreau sacrificed a large part of the 2018 dry vintage for this exceptional cuvée, where the 132 grams of residual sugar are absolutely energized by a very pure mineral tension. The wine then settles in voluptuously. Its body is both majestic and agile, full of vivacity. Lingering aromas of mango, rum, vanilla, saffron and a hint of chalk build a stunning finish. We'll find it again in 50 years. (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve).
