Vignoble Alain Robert Vouvray "Ammonite" dry white 2024

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Appellation: AOC Vouvray

Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc

Terroir: Clay and flint, on the finest plots of the domaine in the southeast of Chançay.

Viticulture: The 50-year-old vines are pruned in goblet shape. They are managed with sustainable practices.
Grass-covered, with an organic matter input at the end of autumn. Health monitoring is meticulous and intervention
is only carried out in case of real risk. We use a collective biotechnical control method
(sexual confusion) to protect the vineyard against the grape worm. No use of insecticides.
Harvesting is exclusively manual with sorting on tables (an average of 2 passes).

Winemaking: Pneumatic pressing. Cold settling without enzymes, in tank. Slow alcoholic fermentation with indigenous yeasts, in 228 and 400-liter oak barrels.
Aging for 12 months on fine lees in barrels (20% new wood), before bottling at the beginning of winter.

Tasting notes: A brilliant robe with golden reflections. On the nose, the polished oak offers delicate aromas of vanilla as well as licorice notes. We also find aromas of white-fleshed fruits: pear, quince, fresh apple.
On the palate, the attack is generous, round with a hint of liveliness and fruity notes.

Food pairings: A gastronomic wine that will pair beautifully with lobster, scallops, creamy poultry, or a matured Comté.

Serving temperature: 10°C - Aeration of at least 30 minutes is necessary before serving.

Cellaring potential: 10 to 15 years
