Vouvray is the most famous appellation of the Touraine, a wine district in the Loire Valley, western France. Created by decree in December 1936, the title covers white wines from eight parishes around the town of Vouvray, on the northern bank of the Loire river as it flows into the city of Tours.
This off dry vouvray is lip smacking. Made from Chenin Blanc the huge nose of apricots, pears, tropical fruit and flowers followed by a beautifully balanced wine of admirable depth and richness. Underlying all of this intensity is a distinctive terroir character that can only be described as a mineral flavour. The wine is rich, slightly sweet, and spectacularly pure and well- balanced.
