Appearance
Sustained, luminous robe with a color ranging from straw yellow for dry wines to golden with amber reflections for ripe sweet wines.
Nose
Always flattering in their youth (acacia, rose, citrus), Vouvray evolve on candied and stewed notes, apricots, quince and above all floral honey.
Palate
Dry whites are rich and distinctive. Depending on their sugar content, the wines are tender, sensual, full-bodied or opulent, but always with great freshness.
Conservation
The considerable lifespan of Vouvray wines (10 years or more) is supported by the perfect preservation conditions (temperature and hygrometry) of the deep cellars dug into the chalk of the hillsides.
