Profile & Story
Grape variety : 100% Chenin Fermentation at low temperature for 8 days. Vinification in stainless steel tanks Ageing 6 months on lies. Contributes to climatic conditions that are ideal for the Vouvray vineyard, located where both ocean and continental influences meet. Here, in the heart of the Loire Valley, sea winds meet up and combine with inland winds. Summers generally have at least one heatwave that lasts for several days. Rainfall is around 680 mm a year. Soils : As far as soils are concerned, the vineyard of Vouvray is made up of several layers. The vineyards that frame the edge of the plateau overlooking the Loire are made of soft chalk from the Turonian period called “tuffeau”. This is topped with a clay and siliceous layer from the Senonian periods and crowned by silt windblown deposits from the Quaternary era
