The Domaine, located in the heart of the Vouvray appellation, has grown with five generations, thus steadily expanding from 5 to 33 hectares. The Vigneau-Chevreau family has honored this tradition with the foresight to expand, modernize, and plan for future generations. The Vigneau-Chevreau’s were granted a 50-year lease to replant and farm the historical vineyard of Marmoutier Abbey, the cradle of Vouvray appellation wines. The 33 acres are located in 4 out of the 8 villages in the appellation. In 1995 the Domaine converted to very strict Biodynamic/Organic agriculture. They are one of two such producers in all of Vouvray. The aging of their wines takes place in their deep limestone cave.
This wine undergoes natural yeast fermentation. The dosage is cane sugar and wine, with a secondary fermentation. It rests 2-years in the cave prior to release. Approximately 3.5 bars of pressure.
Golden in colour, the Vourvray Pétillant’s gentle mouse, transforms into delicate apple and quince flavors that end with a touch of citrus-honey. Made from 100% Chenin Blanc this easy and elegant dry wine is perfect as an aperitif.
Light little bubbles that tickle the nose. Biodynamic. Serve as an aperitif, with desserts or cocktails.
