history
The Cave des Producteurs de Vouvray was created in 1953, at the initiative of a small group of wine growers. The initial project was to pool their resources and create a production tool able to make wines in sufficient volume to penetrate new markets, at the same time preserving a high level of quality which was essential to the commercial development of Vouvray wines, and more particularly the sparkling wines. Sixty years later, the adventure continues with 30 wine growers, who work together 400 ha of vineyards, distributed over the whole Vouvray Appellation area.
Vineyard
The grapes come from selected clay-limestone terroirs on a plateau, overlooking the Loire River. Harvest at peak ripeness and gentle winemaking methods, associated with careful ageing in our tufa chalk cellar, give this wine freshness and finesse.
Winemaking
Gentle pressing, and cool fermentation (18°C) ensure that all the aromas are preserved. Second fermentation in bottle of a selection of the best wines, according to the Méthode Traditionnelle. The bottles are stored horizontally on wooden laths in our tufa cellars for a minimum of 12 months before disgorging, to develop an incomparably fine bead.
Tasting notes
Fine and persistent bead. Pale yellow colour, with green highlights. A lovely and intense nose with elegant aromas of linden blossom and white fruits (peaches and pears). Fresh on the palate, with great balance and finesse. Long aromatic aftertaste with hints of dried fruit.
Food pairing
Enjoy as a perfect accompaniment for your favourite foods (delicatessen meats, pork, poultry, goat's cheese, and chocolate cake).
