This 100% Chenin Blanc vin mousseux is almost always from a single vintage and is left on the lees for at least 48 months before it is disgorged. Frequently, the grapes used to create this sparkling wine are harvested from the younger vines at an earlier stage of the season so as to preserve a particularly high level of natural acidity. Depending on production levels the Vouvray Brut can rest on the lees even longer than the minimum of forty-eight months, thus providing even more richness and complexity.
