Vouvray

This French wine area is located in the Loire Valley (Touraine district) and is recognized for its varietal white wines, which are mostly made from Chenin Blanc. Although sparkling and dessert wines are produced in the area, Vouvray is most recognized for its crisp, dry wines.

Vouvray is a dry, off-dry, sweet, or sparkling wine made in a series of villages bordering the Loire and Brenne rivers in the Touraine area of the Loire Valley. Their straw yellow hue, bright acidity, and complex aromas, which often include floral, citrus, and white fruit notes, distinguish these wines. The aging potential of dry Vouvray wines is outstanding. Their fragrances may develop into ripe white fruit, almonds, and hazelnuts as they age, but they remain fresh, aromatic, and lively. Rich and creamy fish and seafood dishes, pork, chicken, rillettes, and pâtés go great with Vouvray wines. It's better to serve them slightly chilled.
