Vouvray
Vouvray
For Vouvray, always white, only one grape variety is allowed, the Chenin Blanc. This is mainly planted on chalky plateaus of tuff. The number of wine types made here is surprisingly large. Most producers make a Vouvray Sec (which can be very dry), a Demi-Sec and, in sunny years, a Moelleux (sometimes from overripe grapes and lusciously sweet). In addition, there are sparkling Vouvray (made according to the Méthode Traditionelle and often called Vouvray Brut) and Vouvray Pétillant. Vouvray is located in the Tourraine area. Coming from Tours, you enter the Vouvray wine region via the northern Loire bank. The first wine village you encounter is Rochecorbon. The Vouvray appellation consists of eight communes: Vouvray, Rochecordon, Vernou sur Brenne, Sainte-Radegonde, Chançay, Noizay, Reugny and Parçay-Meslay.
