La Maison du Vouvray
18 June 2008

  
  Wine Tasting; La Maison du Vouvray, cave des producteurs Confrerie de La Chantepleure at Vouvray.  Confrerie des Chevaliers de la Chantepleure was founded in 1937.  Their address is: Mairie BP 31 37210 Vouvray France.
  Wines from the French commune of Vouvray to the east of Tours are made in a wide range of styles from the Chenin Blanc grape.  Vintages in the Loire are highly variable, but in the best years Vouvray can produce stylish and very long-lived white wines.
  Winemaking has been recorded in the region since the fifth century AD.  According to legend, Saint Martin of Tours (316/7-397) was responsible for the development of viticulture in Touraine.   In particular he reputedly introduced the Chenin Blanc grape, known locally as Pineau de Loire.

 (Wednesday 18 June) La cave des producteurs Confrerie de La Chantepleur.  I remembered the opening passage of Dante's Inferno, "Nel mezzo del camin di nostra vita, mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, che la diritta via era smarrita."  In fact, we really lost our way in the dark cave later!
