Vouvray is a region in the province of Loire where the Chenin produces a wide range of wine styles including their marvellous but relatively unknown sparkling examples. Made using the same traditional method as Champagne, sparkling Vouvray is every bit as tasty and sells for a fraction of the price. Expect toasted biscuit notes and a hint of earthiness combined with citrus zest wrapped up in a dry but slightly honeyed finish. Tasted July 2012.
