Vignoble Alain Robert Vouvray "Empreinte" dry white 2023

Technical sheet written by the domaine :

Appellation : AOC Vouvray

Grape variety : 100% Chenin Blanc

Terroir : Clay-limestone, on the slopes of the commune of Noizay.

Viticulture : The vines, aged 15 to 40 years, are pruned in goblet shape. They are managed with sustainable practices. Grass cover is maintained, with organic matter added at the end of autumn. Health monitoring is meticulous, and phytosanitary interventions occur only in case of real risk. We use a collective biotechnical pest control method (sexual confusion) to protect the vineyard against grapevine moth. No insecticides are used. Mechanical harvesting is employed, preceded by our team of harvesters, depending on the vintage, to remove damaged grapes.

Vinification: Pneumatic pressing. Cold settling without enzymes, in stainless steel tanks. Alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts and temperature control. Aging continues for 6 months before bottling in spring.

Tasting notes : A pale yellow color with silver reflections. A nose with aromas of white-fleshed fruits: pear, quince, fresh apple, along with some notes of exotic fruits. On the palate, a fresh and mineral attack followed by a delicate flavor of white fruits. A salivating finish, with notes of tangy candy.

Food pairings : A gastronomic wine that will pair deliciously with white fish (such as cod), lobster, risotto, or a dry goat cheese from Touraine.

Serving temperature: 10°C

Aging potential: 10 to 15 years
