Clos de Nouys Vouvray Sec AOP

Clos de Nouys is an estate of about twenty hectares planted on the Vouvray appellation, managed by François Chainier. It is made up of vines that are on average 35 years old.

Already listed in the geological maps of 1907, it is one of the oldest wine estates of the AOC: its wines were served on board the Normandie liner in 1936 and on the most beautiful tables in the world. Its plots of vines were already noted among the best.

This 100% Chenin Blanc is grown on clay-limestone soils on the north bank of the Loire, on the hillsides of Vouvray.
