Vouvray, located to the northeast of the town of Tours, produces the Loire Valley`s best-known Chenin Blanc wines and Alexandre Monmousseau`s Chateau Gaudrelle offers pure, complex wines considered among the finest of the appellation. This off-dry Vouvray is made by `Sec Tendre` retaining just enough residual sugar to balance the high natural acidity of the Chenin. The crisp, natural lemony acidity is perfectly balanced by fresh pear and apple flavours leaving a long ripe finish.
