The village of Vouvray and its vineyards are located just east of Tours on the right bank of the Loire. The grapes are harvested in optimal condition, and the juice ferments slowly at a low temperature. This process fully preserves the fruity aromas.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Marc Bredif's ultra-modern winery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nMarc Brédif is owned and managed by Baron de Ladoucette. The key to every de Ladoucette wine is quality in the vineyard, the winery, and the bottle. The wines are made in a state-of-the-art winery and are considered among the finest of their kind. The grapes for Marc Brédif Vouvray are grown on the lower slopes along the Loire Valley in Vouvray and Vernou-sur-Brenne and enjoy a northerly\/southern exposure. The vineyards have soils of primarily limestone clay, with some plots having flint clay soils. The vineyards are on average 25-30 years old. The \"classic\" on this label distinguishes Marc Brédif's traditional Vouvray from the rest of the wine offerings.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Manual harvest for Marc Bredif Vouvray Classic\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Chenin Blanc grapes are carefully hand-picked to prevent bruising. They are then pneumatically pressed. Only the naturally occurring juice of the grapes is used, which must be cleared for 18 to 24 hours. This is followed by a temperature-controlled fermentation for two months. Finally, the wine is aged in barrels on its lees for nine months.\n\n\n\n The result is a wine that gleams beautifully in the glass, a light yellow. The aroma is sweet, ripe, and refined; slightly spicy with subtle hints of honey. The palate is beautifully fruity and has a sweet attack (ripe white fruit), supported by fresh acidity; a delightful white wine with a delicate, dry flavor. The finish is long and lively with exotic fruit notes.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775899340879,"sku":"896","price":19.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/marc-bredif-vouvray_896.webp?v=1770044904"},{"product_id":"marc-bredif-vouvray-vigne-blanche","title":"Marc Bredif Vouvray Vigne Blanche","description":"This beautiful white wine is like a polished white diamond. It comes from Domaine Brédif, a stylish estate located in Vouvray, in the Loire Valley. This exceptional property dates back to 1893, when the Brédif family began producing wine. An unprecedented, classy wine from a limited edition. This powerful white wine is an exclusive jewel of the Loire Valley. It is made from the Chenin Blanc grape, a quintessential French grape that is worth savoring.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The most famous winery in the Loire\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis magnificent estate is one of the Loire Valley's most renowned wineries. Despite its size, quality is paramount to the owners, as anyone who tastes and enjoys the wines can see and appreciate. The estate has a long and colorful history, having been founded in 1893 under its original name, Château Les Roches. In 1919, Marc Bredif took over from his uncle and renamed the property. His focus was simple: to forge an unparalleled reputation for excellence among the Loire Valley estates. His hard work paid off, and the estate's reputation grew rapidly, both domestically and internationally. This was largely built on the fame of its sparkling Vouvray, considered one of the region's finest. Since 1980, the estate has been owned by the renowned Baron Patrick de Ladoucette, owner of the world-famous Château de La Doucette.\n\n\n \nThe grapes grow on the lower slopes of the Loire Valley in the sunny orchards of Vouvray. The soil is primarily calcareous, and the vines are approximately 25 to 35 years old. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand. This is followed by a rigorous selection and fermentation in steel tanks at a temperature of 18 degrees Celsius. The wine then rests on the lees before being filtered and bottled.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The smell and taste of Marc Bredif Vouvray Vigne Blanche\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n This beautiful white Vouvray boasts a vibrant golden yellow color and is a generous and exquisite example of terroir expression: a complex interplay of minerals, flint, candied citrus, and honey. Ripe acidity gives the wine a lovely freshness. The palate is captivatingly complex and beautifully ripe; the soft acidity is well balanced with ripe white fruit; it has plenty of length.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775778852943,"sku":"7280","price":20.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/marc-bredif-vouvray-vigne-blanche-reserve-privee_7280.webp?v=1770110605"},{"product_id":"nectar-vouvray-marc-bredif","title":"Nectar Vouvray Marc Bredif","description":"This nectar from Chenin Blanc is exceptionally refined, velvety smooth, rich, and concentrated with notes of honey, botrytis, and tropical fruit.

The history of Domaine Marc Brédif dates back to 1893, when Monsieur Brédif founded the estate. The winery is located in the heart of Vouvray, in the Loire Valley region. Later, in 1980, Baron Patrick de Ladoucette took over the estate and continued cultivating vines for wine production. The Domaine Marc Brédif cellar is among the finest and largest in the appellation. Domaine Marc Brédif has a number of very rare wines, with vintages dating back to 1874.

Production here is divided between still (dry, semi-dry, or sweet, depending on the vintage and sunshine) and sparkling wines, produced using traditional methods of a second fermentation process before bottling. The soft wines, labeled \"moelleux,\" are produced under favorable weather conditions (sunny autumns). Overripe grapes affected by noble rot are harvested through sorting. With age, these rich, smooth wines develop complex aromas similar to great fortified wines: ripe quince, acacia, almonds, and honey.","brand":"Fourcroy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775779967055,"sku":"7364","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/nectar-vouvray-marc-bredif_7364.webp?v=1770110457"},{"product_id":"bernard-fouquet-vouvray-sec-cuvee-de-perruches","title":"Bernard Fouquet Vouvray Sec Cuvée de Perruches","description":"\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"opozf1\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"71\"\u003eBernard Fouquet Vouvray Sec Cuvée de Perruches 2023 Loire, France\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"73\" data-end=\"554\"\u003eBernard Fouquet Vouvray Sec Cuvée de Perruches 2023 is a dry white wine from Vouvray, made from 100% Chenin Blanc.
