Hand-picked harvest then slow vinification under low temperatures in calcareous cellars (allowing the stable average temperature of 12°c). Fermentation stopped before the end of the process in order to keep a certain rate of residual sugar.Technical parameters
Acidity : 4,8 g/l - Sulphur : 45 mg/l (indicative measures)Tasting notes
The nice amber-coloured yellow announces a complex nose, revealing a nice floral smell. The expression in mouth is full because of the body and good balance between residual sugars and acidity. It provides this Vouvray a lot of delicacy and a nice roundness in mouth. Serving temperature around 8° - 10°C.Contient des sulfites
