ドメーヌ・シルヴァン・ゴードロン
ドメーヌ・シルヴァン・ゴードロンは1890年から4代に渡りヴーヴレを生産する家族経営のワイナリーです。25ヘクタールの畑を所有し、その内2/3は平均樹齢が30年以上です。水はけが良く多孔性のテュフォー(tuffeau)と呼ばれるチョーク質石灰岩とそれを覆う粘土質石灰岩の土壌が主流で、シャンパーニュ地方と同じようにテュフォーを掘って造られた地下カーヴは温度・湿度ともにワインを保管するのに最適な環境です。辛口から甘口まで、豊かなアロマや果実味、フィネスを備えたスティルワインとスパークリングを手がけています。
Vouvray is a region of the Loire Valley in France, located in the Touraine area, just east of the city of Tours. The Vouvray region has existed since the Middle Ages when the Catholic church maintained a vineyard at the local monasteries (Monk Saint Martin). Wine cellars were built in the region from caves created from the excavation of Tuffeau rocks used to build the Chateaux of the Loire Valley. In 1936, Vouvray was created as an Appellation d’Origine controlee. The Appellation d'Origine contrôlée (AOC) is dedicated almost exclusively to Chenin blanc.
Wine production in this area is highly variable and dependent on climate conditions. Cooler years promoting the production of dry (sec) and sparkling Vouvray while warmer, more favorable vintage encourages the production of sweet moelleux or liquoreux styles produced by noble rot in a manner similar to the sweet dessert wines of Sauternes.
With the naturally high acidity of Chenin blanc, Vouvrays from favorable vintages have immense aging potential with some examples drinking well into 100 years of age.
