Domaine du Margalleau
Domaine du Margalleau has 26 hectares planted entirely in chenin blanc and produces all four varieties of Vouvray plus a sparkling wine. Jean Michel and Bruno Pieaux are the fourth generation from this family to be producing these wines. The vineyard is south facing and sits on the edge of the Loire River and the vines are planted in soft soils known as Tuffeau.
Description
This fresh almond and marzipan-scented sparkling Vouvray has wonderfully ripe nut and floral flavors. Medium-bodied and silky-textured, it has a delightful mouth-feel. Its copious bubbles are well-integrated in the wine, providing freshness yet not being intrusive.
Food Pairing
Suitable with brioche and crab cakes, smoked salmon breads, seafood mousse, chocolate cake and ice cream.
