Product Description
Region : The AOC Vouvray is located on the right bank of the Loire, near Tours, representing about 2200 hectares.
It is a hilly landscape, designed by plateaus and slopes with a base of limestone (Tuffeau), covered by a layer of clay, silt and sand. In this area the general climate is temperate oceanic with a continental influence.
The AOC Vouvray produces white wines only (117000 hl/year). The maturity of the grapes is advanced when the years are very sunny. Vouvray produces dry and semi-dry white wines that are the true representatives of this appellation. During the best years, juices collected during the harvest, are concentrated enough in sugar to produce outstanding sweet wine with a very long aging capacity.
