Chateau Moncontour Vouvray Sec 2024

The impressive château moncontour was built by charles vii in the 15th century and lies in the heart of vouvray, high on a ridge above the loire. the winery, dug into the hillside beneath, was established in the 4th century and is one of the oldest in the loire valley. christian feray, a surgeon, bought the château in 1994, having coveted it since he was a child, and has moved moncontour to the forefront of the vouvray renaissance. winemaker jérôme loisy makes thoroughly modern wines – fresh, racy and full of ripe orchard fruit – across his dry and sparkling range. a bright example of vouvray, showing classic green apple and white blossom notes, fresh acidity, and a rounded body thanks to the four months maturation on lees.
