Description

Vouvray Chenin Blanc Les Tuffes gets its name from the vineyard, where the underlying clay-lime and clay-silicate soil is called tuffeau. This special terroir gives the wine character and minerality. The maturation of the grapes is closely monitored, the harvested grapes are rushed to a pneumatic press and pressed at low pressure. The juice is selected and clarified at a low temperature. Fermentation takes place in refrigerated steel tanks at 16 °C, which preserves the fruitiness of the wine. Before bottling, the wine matures for six months on the lees, which are regularly stirred.
