Parçay-Meslay 

Brut La Grande Reserve Vouvray

100% Chenin Blanc

Production area: Parçay-Meslay

Terrain: argillo-calcareo

Harvest: manual

Vinification: Soft pressing. Partially fermented in oak barrels to fix the aroma. This cuvée is aged for 10 years on fine lees to give rise to very fine bubbles, and after riddling the bottles, disgorgement is carried out without the addition of liqueur

Refinement: three months in the bottle so that the terroir and all fermentation aromas are highlighted

Color: Straw yellow with very fine and persistent perlage

Fragrance: mineral with hints of flint, supported by notes of burnt almonds. Allowed to aerate, the nose evolves into buttery and lemony notes

Flavor: tender on the attack, with spicy flavors (gray pepper). The finish is quite long with a supple structure; agglomerated notes appear after oxygenation

Alcoholic Grade: 12.5% vol

THE COMPANY

Located near Tours, in the famous valley of the Loire castles, the Domaine de la Roulétiere is led with great passion by the Gilet family, among the first to believe in sparkling wines, as much as they gave life to the first cuvée in 1959. The vineyards extends over stony slopes on tufaceous substrate in small confluent valleys. The Domaine has a large cellar, on two levels, dug for 800 meters of tunnels: here both still wines and bubbles of Vouvray matures. Certified in Organic Agriculture and conducted in a respectful way, the Domaine, with its fine and deep wines, perfectly represents the terroir of Vouvray.
