About the Wine
Château de Montfort isit’s a slice of French history. Perched on a limestone plateau overlooking the Loire River, this 16th-century estate has been crafting wines for generations. The 75 acres of vineyards, all within the Vouvray and Touraine regions, are a true reflection of the estate’s passion for winemaking.
The vines at Château de Montfort are special. They’ve been growing in the same calcareous and clay-rich soils for an average of 45 years, giving the grapes a depth of flavor that’s hard to beat. Located in the villages of Noizay, Chancay, and Nazelle Négron, these vines soak up the unique climate of the Loire, creating wines with a distinct minerality and elegance.
The 2021 Château de Montfort Vouvray is a masterpiece of careful winemaking. The grapes are gently pressed, and the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks for nearly eight weeks.
Tasting Notes
100% Chenin Blanc. This Vouvray is a medium-dry delight. Imagine biting into a juicy pear or a crisp green apple—those are the flavors you’ll find here, along with a hint of honeysuckle and a whisper of stony minerality. The finish is smooth and refreshing, making it the perfect wine to enjoy any time. Whether you’re having a casual picnic or hosting a dinner party, this is a versatile wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes. From creamy cheeses to light seafood, it’s a wine that adds a touch of French elegance to any meal.
