Varietal: 100% Chenin Blanc
Tasting Note: With its pale straw hue and fine stream of bubbles that gently travels up the glass, this Vouvray has a lovely bruised apple note and delicate yeasty character. A hint of wild honey and plum skins adds to the attractiveness of this lovely sparkling wine The perfect pick-me-up!
Food Pairing: Enjoy a glass before dinner or pair it with fish and seafood. It’s particularly delicious alongside a fillet of salmon cooked with a sorrel sauce. A glass at the end of a meal is also very festive.

About: Château de Montdomaine is a newcomer to the Loire Valley wines landscape. Located in the village of Nazelles-Négron, 3 miles north-west of Amboise, this pretty little chateau produces wines from Touraine-Amboise and Vouvray appellations.This is a young dynamic winery, managed by Frédéric and Louisa Plou. Frédéric is from an ancient family of winegrowers who go back to the … 16th century! He vinifies his own wines and, like many of this rising generation of young winegrowers, Château de Montdomaine has adopted artisanal and traditional wine production methods. Therefore, all wines are 100% “natural”.The Plou cultivate 17 hectares of vines, mostly facing south, as it should be on this side of the Loire. In just a few years, the wines of Château de Montdomaine have already built a first reputation. No doubt, it will keep growing.
