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 Chenin blanc vines, also known as Pineau de Loire, enjoy wonderful exposure to the sun on the plateau overlooking the Loire River. TERROIR The Vouvray vineyards cover 2,000 hectares of clay-limestone terroir to the east of Tours
Winemaking
The grapes are picked at a high degree of ripeness so as to retain some residual sugar after fermentation (depending on the vintage). Picking at optimal ripeness. Pressing, light racking, slow fermentation at low temperature (18°C) in stainless steel vats. Aged on fine lees for 6 months and bottled in the spring season
