Clos des Aumones
Located in Rochecorbon, near Tours, Clos des Aumônes is a 17-hectare estate nestled on the slopes of Vouvray, on the right bank of the Loire River. The vineyard, historically founded by the monks of Marmoutier in the 4th century, benefits from a particularly favorable southern exposure. Taken over in 2018 by Benoît Coulon, a trained oenologist, the estate is managed using sustainable farming practices with the ambition of revealing the full potential of Chenin Blanc. The soils are divided between clay-limestone, which imparts roundness and length, and clay-siliceous soils with flint, known locally as "perruches," which lend freshness and finesse to the wines. Exclusively planted with Chenin Blanc, the estate produces a complete range of Vouvray wines, both sparkling and still, from dry to sweet.
