Chenin Blanc in Roman Caves
Vouvray Chenin Blanc in Roman Caves
Vouvray's limestone cliffs are honeycombed with Roman-carved caves (tuffeau). Chenin Blanc has grown here since at least the 4th century. Taste bone-dry to lusciously sweet wines in candlelit cellars where Romans quarried stone 2,000 years ago.
