The late Jean-Michel Vigneau began steering the family domaine in an organic direction in the early ’90s and by 1999 VigneauChevreau received its biodynamic certification. As well as making Vouvrays from their own vines, Vigneau-Chevreau also control the Clos de Rougemont of the historic Abbey of Marmoutier. However, over the centuries, the abbey and its vineyard fell into disrepair, the final blows being dealt by the French Revolution and the ravages of phylloxera. In the early 1990s, Vigneau-Chevreau was awarded vineyard rights to the Clos (for 50 years) in exchange for restoring it to its original grandeur. The site was replanted with a careful selection of vines from Vigneau-Chevreau’s best terroirs. Sparkling Vouvray accounts for under 2% of the appellations output.
Vigneau-Chevreau Vouvray Sec Silex 2024
13% abv
This Vouvray is bright gold and intense. Delicious pure Chenin Blanc with quince and almond notes and a touch of pineapple and cooked apple … Perfect acid balance and it finishes with a real zing. From calcium rich silex soil.
Grown on the clayey-siliceous soils of the Loire hillsides, with a significant proportion of flint on the surface. Harvested manually from 30 to 40 year old vines, this silex cuvée is characterized by a slight residual sugar (max 9g/l) and good acidity, which give it a natural freshness and predispose it to good development.
The terroir of this cuvée sometimes gives notes of “flint”, which underline its mineral character, or a fruitier side in sunny years. Bright yellow in color, with their aromas of apple, pear and citrus, these wines will perfectly accompany seafood.
