DESCRIPTION

The La Craie Vouvray Sec 2022 is a pure and mineral-driven Chenin Blanc from the iconic limestone and chalky Tuffeau soils of Vouvray. This cuvée offers bright citrus fruit, floral lift, and a vibrant acidity, perfectly balancing freshness with texture. Crisp and elegant, it is a classic expression of dry Vouvray.

EYE

This wine reveals a pale straw-yellow color with silver-green highlights, clear and brilliant in the glass, suggesting freshness and youth.

NOSE

The bouquet is expressive and elegant, with aromas of lemon zest, green apple, and white flowers. Subtle hints of quince and wet stone add mineral complexity.

MOUTH

On the palate, it is dry and lively, with flavors of citrus, pear, and a touch of honey. The racy acidity and chalky minerality create a precise, long, and refreshing finish.

PAIRING

Perfect with oysters, shellfish, and goat cheese, it also pairs beautifully with roasted poultry, vegetable terrines, or enjoyed as an elegant aperitif.

La Craie

La Craie sources its grapes from carefully selected plots within the Vouvray appellation, focusing on wines that express the chalky terroir (“craie” means “chalk” in French). The winemaking emphasizes purity and precision, resulting in cuvées that are fresh, balanced, and reflective of their Loire Valley origin.

Loire

With 2,000 years of history featuring kings'castles and fortresses, the Loire Valley is home to 31 appelations, starting in the Muscadet to the west near the Atlantic Ocean, passing by Chinon, Vouvray and the Touraine in the middle, to end to the famous village of Sancerre, located all the way to the East. This region cultivates 24 grape varietals which offer a very diverse tasting and culinary experience. From mineral whites such as Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc or Melon de Bourgogne (aka grape use in Muscadet) to light and spicy reds, such as Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir or Gamay. It is also France's third largest wine growing region, featuring a temperate climate and diverse terroirs influenced by the Atlantic ocean and the proximity of the Loire river. Enjoy white loire wines with goat cheese or seafood, and the reds with spicy cuisine and vegeterian dishes.
