Chateau Moncontour Vouvray Sec 2023

ABV: 13%

This wine is pale lemon in colour with youthful hues. The nose displays fresh aromas of green apples and white flowers. The palate is crisp, clean and beautifully balanced, with a long, elegant finish.

Château Moncontour has 130 hectares of vineyards in the Vouvray appellation. The dry Vouvray comes from a unique parcel in the village of Rochecorbon. The vines are planted on chalk and clay soils and range from 20 to 45 years old.

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.
