Description:
The iconic structure of Château Moncontour was built by Charles VII in the 15th century and lies in the heart of Vouvray, high on a ridge above the Loire. The winery, dug into the hillside beneath, was established in the 4th century and is one of the oldest in the Loire Valley. Château Moncontour has 130 hectares of vineyards. The dry Vouvray comes from a unique parcel in the village of Rochecorbon, near to Vouvray. Soils are chalky and clay-like and the vines range from 20 to 45 years.
Tasting Note: This wine is pale lemon in colour with youthful hues, and is reminiscent of green apples and white flowers. The palate is crisp, clean and beautifully balanced, with a long refreshing finish. 100% Chenin Blanc
