Established 1893, the wines of Marc Brédif are the most famous in Vouvray, drawing fruit from twenty acres of the most splendid, picturesque local vineyards. Harvests of Chenin Blanc are collated from choice sites, planted along the banks of the Loire, around the small villages of Vouvray and Vernou Sur Brenne. Grapes are hand picked off vines up to thirty years of age, growing to clay, chalk and silica soils. Parcels are treated to a pneumatic press, the exclusively free run juices are treated to a day or two of cold soak. Batches are vinified in fermenting vats for two months at a controlled 18C, followed by several months maturation on sedimentery yeast lees before bottling.
