Champalou Vouvray Cuvee Fondraux 2023

The grapes coming from the siliceous and clay terroir, are harvested in the fresh hours of the early morning. It is after this decisive step that the grapes are respectfully pressed by our pneumatic press. The grape juices are selected and placed in our double barrels. The fermentation unfolds slowly at a low temperature. After being carefully monitored, the fermentation is naturally stopped by lowering the temperature in order to achieve a balanced semi-sweet wine. This wine is then aged on its fine lees, still in its wooden barrels.

Les Fondraux is our balanced semi-sweet wine. It contains the residual sugars that offer a savory and concentrated on the first pallet. The notes of white flowers offer a balanced mixed of freshness, body, minerals and vivacity. Served young, Les Fondraux is enjoyable next a fresh water fish, cold cuts, goat cheese and sweet-savoury dishes. With a few years of maturity in the cellar, Les Fondraux is perfect alongside dishes seasoned with certain spices (cumin et coriandre) and white meats.
