If we often opt for sparkling, dry or semi-dry Vouvray, let’s not forget that the AOC Vouvray winegrowers produce still wine. It still represents 40% of the total production on the AOC territory, a territory which extends on the right bank of the Loire, and which includes 7 municipalities including Vouvray of course, but also Vernou or Chançay, among others. …
The French are more inclined to opt for sparkling Vouvray, while foreign customers tend to associate Vouvray with still wine… Each to their own!
To taste, make your choice and buy your bottles for end-of-year meals, several options: go to your favorite wine merchant; visit the winegrowers in their cellars on condition that you make an appointment to travel at the right time; or visit the cooperative cellar, Cave des Producteurs de Vouvray, with dozens of proposals including the recent HO HO HO! that smells of the end of year celebrations.
