The terroirs here are Vouvray's typical clay and limestone, but this area is reknown for having much less clay than other sectors in the appellation, therefore providing optimal drainage and imparting chalky minerality to the wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause Thomas' cellar is a mere 500 meters outside of the delineated zone permitted to make Vouvray, he can only apply for Touraine AOC status. In such he's decided to intentionally declassify all his wines to Vin de France. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are direct-pressed then ferment and age in old barrels 14 to 16 months before bottling. The wine ferments naturally and is not fined or filtered. S02 is low and used as sparingly as possible but Thomas is pragmatic, using it at any point the wine may need it. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DRESSNER 2:00 3cs\/$300","offers":[{"title":"White","offer_id":68527354642667,"sku":null,"price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/vwm.wine\/products\/thomas-puechavy-vdf-le-rayon-chenin-blanc-2023","provider":"Vanderbilt Ave Wine Merchants | 573 Vanderbilt Ave | Brooklyn NY","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
