 Beautiful property of the XVIIIème century for the oldest part. The winegrowing is a field with vines, an orchard, a garden and trees centenaries, located at the top of the village of Vouvray. The property is in the middle of the vines, which is also a scarcity on the appellation, since the majority of the other wine growers are installed close to their cellars located in the valleys dug in micaceous chalk.” On the whole, the vineyard counts a little more than 16,72 ha of vines of 30 years Middle Age, the grape harvest is manual for the still wines, and the reasoned fight is practiced. The buried wine storehouse was built in 2008 to store the Traditional Method near the Clos. Superb Vouvray cuvée Marcus 2006, very attractive, rich in bouquet, with the notes of dry fruits and small flowers, with nuances of fresh peach in mouth, a tasty wine and charmer, to open on a plate miller. The 2005 are marked by its freshness in mouth and its aromatic persistence, with the intense nose, a wine floral, unctuous, of a nice complexity of aromas, to discover with aperitif, on a dessert as on a white sauce meat. The Vouvray moelleux 2005, gold medal with the competition of the Vins de la Région Center, cordial, delicate and powerful at the same time, with the nuances of crystallized apricot and fresh brioche, is a really tasty wine. Vouvray medium dry wine 2005 is unctuous, of a great classicism, very quite well-balanced, a wine where the fresh fruits and the brioche intermingle, of a beautiful persistence, of harmonious mouth, full and typified. The Vouvray Grande Réserve 2003, suave and persistent, with the complex floral notes (pink, acacia…), very well-balanced, melted in mouth, of very beautiful guard. Their Touraine rosé cuvée Pauline Méthode Traditionnelle demi-sec, all in aromatic persistence, with subtle nuances of pink and honeysuckle, is a vintage sharp and delicate as it should be stops of it, frank and suave, very quite well-balanced like this Vouvray Méthode Traditional medium dry wine, with the notes of fruits fresh and acacia, of delicate and abundant foam, perfect on the desserts with the fruits. The Vouvray Méthode Traditionnelle brut, silver medal Mâcon 2008. Rooms of hosts likeable, roomy and of great comfort, which is quite pleasant in the middle of the vineyard.
