The Alain Robert Ammonite Vouvray Sec is a dry white made from 100% Chenin Blanc in Vouvray, in the Loire Valley. The grapes come from three of the estate's oldest parcels, on clay and flint soil south-east of Chançay. They are hand-harvested at the beginning of October and sorted, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and cold-settled in stainless steel. The wine then spends 12 months on fine lees in 228-liter barrels, 25% new and the rest one to three years old, and gets a light filtration before bottling. Expect aromas of pear and vanilla with mineral notes. This cuvée was first made in 2013.
Vignoble Alain Robert is a family estate in Chançay, founded in 1973 by Christiane and Alain Robert, who started with 2 hectares inherited from their families. Today it farms 37 hectares in Chançay and Noizay, mostly Chenin Blanc. Their son Cyril joined in 2000, and his sister Catherine Médard-Robert joined at the end of 2013.
