Vouvray is made from the Chenin Blanc grape, the noble grape of the Loire Valley. Here it makes outstanding dry wines, some stunning, long-lived sweet wines, and delicious sparkling wines, too.

Some of Moncontour's Vouvray are sweet, some are dry, and some have just a hint of sweetness that works magic with the clean, mineral tartness of the wine. The result is a wine with some weight and character that is also refreshing and great with all kinds of food. It even smells like flowers.

Because of its abundant acidity, Vouvray can age beautifully for quite some time. But a young, fresh Vouvray is delightful with a picnic of cold dishes and spicy foods alike. Just remember to bring along more Vouvray than you think you'll need.
