This lovely sparkling Vouvray with lots of character and richness. The cuvée is crafted from Chenin Blanc primarily from grapes grown on vines located further behind the village from vineyards known for high-quality sparkling wine. Just like Champagne, the cuvée is made in the méthode traditionnelle.
Jean-Claude Pichot’s family is one of the oldest in Vouvray, with origins as viticulturists and restaurateurs dating back to 1739. Their cellars are located in the village of Vouvray, in caverns hewn from the rolling hills which were once quarried to provide stone to construct the grand châteaux of the Loire. Domaine Pichot was established in 1996. Their 60 acres of vineyards are all in Vouvray, six miles east of Tours on the right bank of the Loire River. The vines are on average thirty years old and are all of the Chenin Blanc variety. In an era when most Vouvray wines are bottled by négotiants, the wines of the Pichot family continue to show the perfumed elegance of Chenin Blanc and are authentic expressions of a particular terrain, climate, cellar, and the art of the winemaker.
