THE BALANCE OF CHATEAU GAUDRELLE

 

Clos Le Vigneau stands in the heart of Vouvray’s terroir. Situated on an emblematic plot at the edge of the hillside near the Loire. Its clay-limestone soils produce rounded, full-bodied wines with pronounced fruit and freshness forming the typical balance of a Chenin Blanc.

 

This cuvee is the perfect example of ‘sec-tendres’ or ‘off-dry’ and highlights the marriage between acidity, the natural sugar of the grape and the distinct minerality of the terroir. It benefits from fermentation and ageing in both barrel and stainless steel vats, using indigenous yeasts and extended contact on lees to further enhance complexity and character.
