Presentation of the appellation written by the domaine :

History: for centuries, the white from Pineau produced on both sides of the Loire, in Montlouis and Vouvray, was called “Vouvray wine.” It was only with the creation of the Appellations d'Origine that Montlouis, aware of its uniqueness, gained independence and became a communal appellation.

Soils: at the top of the promontory, the soil consists of clays topped with sands blown from the Loire and the Cher and coarse elements of flint and chalk. The tuffeau (Turonian chalk) is always within reach of roots.

Climate: bordered by natural geographical limits (Loire to the North, Cher to the South, and the Amboise forest massif to the East), Montlouis-sur-Loire enjoys particularly mild climatic conditions: the ocean's influences penetrate through the two widely open valleys, favoring the over-ripening of grapes and producing dry white wines of high maturity. The production of semi-dry wines or sweet wines depends on climatic variability: the vintage effect is decisive.
