Vouvray Les Armorés

Presentation

Location
The vineyards are located to the east of Tours.
Terroir
The Vouvray vineyards extend over 2000 hectares of clay-limestone terroir to the east of Tours. The Chenin blanc vines, also known as Pineau de Loire, benefit from a fine sunny exposure on the plateau overlooking the Loire. The grapes are harvested at maximum ripeness to achieve a perfect balance between freshness and sweetness.
Winemaking
Pressing, selection of the heart of the press and settling. Fermentation at low temperature (14°C), racking, ageing on fine lees (3 months), filtration. Bottled early to preserve aromatic intensity.
