Vouvray Wine Region, France

The Vouvray wine region is one of the Loire Valley’s most distinctive subregions. Vouvray has earned international recognition for producing some of France’s most versatile and distinctive white wines, all built on Chenin Blanc, the foundation of every style produced within the appellation. Depending on the growing season and winemaking approach, Chenin Blanc creates dry, off-dry, sweet and sparkling wines, showing apple, pear, citrus, quince, honey and floral notes. The region’s naturally high acidity allows wines to achieve balance and remarkable ageing potential even in sweeter styles, supported by a network of underground limestone cellars used for maturation.
