Chateau Moncontour Vouvray Brut NV

ABV: 12.5%

Pale yellow with green hints. A fresh nose, with white flowers, brioche and apple aromas. Harmonious palate with a nice acidity and finesse.

Château Moncontour has 130 hectares of vineyards. Its dry Vouvray comes from a unique parcel in the village of Rochecorbon, near to Vouvray. The vines are aged from 10 to 45 years old. Solis are chalky and clay like.

Château Moncontour was built during the 15th century, by Charles VII, in the heart of Vouvray, high on a ridge above the Loire. The winery is dug into the hillside and was established in the 4th century, making it one of the oldest in the Loire Valley. Christian Feray bought the Château in 1994 having coveted it since childhood. He has since moved Château Moncontour to the forefront of the Vouvray renaissance, aided by his winemaker Jérôme Loisy who has made the Château’s wines for over 25 years. These are thoroughly modern expressions which are fresh, racy and defined by ripe orchard fruit.
