Notes on the Wine
This sparkling Vouvray features intense aromas of fresh peach, pear, and white flowers. The palate follows the nose adding apricot and an enchanting minerality. All held together with racy acidity. A perfect match for oysters on the half shell, various seafood dishes, chicken or with soft cheeses.
Notes on the Producer
The Domaine de Vodanis was created in 2007 by two young friends, Francois Gilet and Nicolas Darracq by taking over a long-term lease on the Vodanis Vineyard (4, 5Ha) from the famed Huet estate. During that time, they added another 10 hectares located deeper into the plateau of Rochecordon. From the older vines in Vodanis they produce their still wines, whereas the younger vines in their other parcels are perfect for producing the chenin blanc destined for the sparkling Vouvray. The estate of Domaine de Vodanis is situated on limestone soils around the town of Rochecorbon, with vines averaging around 25 years old. The philosophy of this estate revolves around respecting and observing the rhythms of nature, so they use entirely sustainable farming practices, borrowing many techniques from the biodynamic canon. Yields are strictly limited in the vineyards, and they use no chemicals or additives and limit their intervention overall during the winemaking process.
