Domaine VIGNEAU-CHEVREAU Vouvray
Since 1875, four generations of the Vigneau-Chevreau family has farmed the chalky soils of their 69-acre Vouvray domaine. Having worked organically for many years, in 1999 Vigneau-Chevreau received its biodynamic certification. The most disciplined of organic cultures, tenets of biodynamics include the natural harnessing of universal forces, scheduling specific vineyard work according to the Maria Thun lunar calendar. The use of indigenous yeasts allows the full expression of the terroir, that combination of factors which makes each vineyard site unique.
Vouvray (Voo-VRAE) east of
Tours in the central
Loire, offers great diversity, though only a single grape variety is permitted: Chenin Blanc. The vineyards are harvested at various levels of maturity to produce the different styles from dry to sweet and also sparkling.
Sparkling Vouvray accounts for a significant part of Vouvray production, and its consistent high quality makes it an excellent alternative to higher-priced champagne.
Vigneau-Chevreau’s sparkling demi-sec is in a distinctive “petillant” style, which is bottled under less pressure for a softer and creamier texture. With its perfect balance of acidity and fresh fruit, the sparkling is as perfect as an aperitif as it is at the end of the meal paired with dessert. |
