CLOS DES AUMONES
Located in Rochecorbon, at the gates of Tours, Clos des Aumônes is a 17-hectare estate situated on the Vouvray hillsides, on the right bank of the Loire. The vineyard, historically founded by the monks of Marmoutier in the 4th century, benefits from a particularly favorable south-facing exposure. Taken over in 2018 by Benoît Coulon, a trained oenologist, the estate is managed using sustainable agriculture with the ambition of revealing the full potential of Chenin Blanc. The soils are divided between clay-limestone, which provides roundness and length, and clay-siliceous with flint, known as “perruches,” which impart freshness and finesse to the wines. Exclusively planted with Chenin, the estate produces a complete range of Vouvray, including sparkling and still wines, from dry to sweet.
