Chap. VIII

Vouvray

Unique artisan wines from outstanding vineyards, made in limited quantities

For this cuvée, we have sought out the complementarity of two terroirs that are emblematic of the appellation, enabling us to reveal exceptional richness and fullness, balanced by the freshness and distinctive minerality of Vouvray.

Chap.VIII - ALONG THE WATER

Between the meanders of the Loire, Vouvray reveals its tuffeau soil, like a gentle promenade along the water. It is in this unique terroir that the Chenin grape variety finds its purest expression, offering a cuvée of remarkable minerality and freshness.
