Tasting notes:

With a history dating back to 1761, this domaine has always focused on Chenin in Vouvray. On calcareous soils with clay and limestone, the ‘tuffeau’ is perfect for Chenin Blanc grapes. This wine, pale lemon-coloured, displays pineapple and cooked golden apple fruit with lemon zest, acacia honey and tangerine notes. Medium-dry (13g/l residual sugar), the palate is midweight, with crisp acidity balancing the sweetness. Well-defined, accented by stony minerality and having a long finish, the wine will pair nicely with Basque mountain cheese Ossau Iraty, or freshly-caught fish from the local River Loiret.
