Production Area
The vineyards of Vouvray are planted on a plateau on the north bank of the Loire River. Clay and gravel are common in the topsoil; chalk forms the subsoil, and the small valleys in and around the town of Vouvray are riddled with caves and cellars.

Grape Varieties
100% Chenin Blanc

Vinification
Rigorous low yield control (50-60 hl/ha). Grapes are picked at optimal maturity, and bunches are pressed immediately, followed by low temperature fermentation to preserve tropical fruit flavors and aromas. The juice is protected with CO2 and does not undergo malolactic fermentation. Aged on the fine lees to obtain a rounder texture and stored in stainless steel tanks until bottling maintains the freshness, minerality, and purity of the Chenin grape.
