Vouvray
Vouvray Wine - Buy Wine from the Vouvray Region of France
Relentlessly tasting young, often unfinished, wines can really take its toll, which is why, rather like a flat stage in the Tour de France, the vineyards of Vouvray make a welcome respite on a tasting trip. Thankfully there are no red wines to taste here and so no aggressive tannins to contend with; just fresh, clean, un-oaked still and sparkling wines made from Chenin Blanc.
In the Coquette Valley in Vouvray, Didier Aubert makes classic wines by traditional methods. His marvellous Vouvray Mousseux Brut is hand-riddled and bottle-fermented. Didier’s Vouvray Sec is always a pleasure to taste, not least because his father, Jean-Claude, is apt to appear with
tartines of the delicious local
rillettes.
