Tasting Notes

The appellation of Vouvray begins at the eastern edge of the city of Tours and extends through seven communes on the right bank of the Loire River. It is believed that the start of vine cultivation in Vouvray can be traced back to the founding of the Marmoutier Abbey by Saint Martin in 372 AD and, according to legend, he introduced grape varietals and a pruning method which is still in use today. The proximity of the waterways played a very important role in the growth of the vineyards, as the rivers provided a means of communication that helped the development of export trade.
