The sparkling Vouvray AOC comes from the AOC Vouvray. To the east of the Tours agglomeration, on the banks of the Brenne and on the right bank of the Loire, the vineyard occupies the AOC Vouvray appellation area and corresponds to about 60% of its annual production.
The vineyard of Vouvray Pétillant has a climate identical to the one found in the area of the AOC Vouvray and is located on plateaus or slopes dug in the cliff, on argilo-siliceous grounds. It also benefits, to favour the maturity of the grapes, from a southern exposure and attenuated winds.
Chenin is here the exclusive grape variety for production. After a second fermentation in bottles according to the traditional Champagne method, the pressure in the bottle must be less than 2.5 bars for these wines to claim their appellation. In the end, the Vouvray Pétillant wines are light, with quince aromas, typical of the chenin, apple and clove, with a straw yellow robe.
