Why shop with us?
Domaine d'Orfeuilles Vouvray Brut NV is a beautifully crafted sparkling Chenin Blanc from the Loire, made biodynamically and produced in the traditional Champagne method. It offers remarkable quality for the price, with a refined style that easily broadens the conversation beyond Champagne, Prosecco, and Cava.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a pale golden color with delicate, fine bubbles. The nose is bright and inviting, with notes of citrus, apricot, vanilla, spring flowers, and freshly baked biscuits.
The palate is fresh and lively, with crisp acidity and nicely integrated fruit that keeps the wine balanced and easy to enjoy. It has enough structure and finesse to age gracefully for a few years, though it is also very appealing now while the fruit is vibrant.
Production
Made from biodynamically farmed Chenin Blanc in Vouvray, in France’s Loire Valley, this sparkling wine is produced using the traditional method, with the second fermentation taking place in bottle. The limited production and careful vineyard work reflect a hands-on approach, resulting in a wine with clarity, freshness, and a distinctive Loire character.
Food & Serving
This is a highly versatile sparkling wine that works well as an aperitif or alongside oysters, seafood, sushi, light canapés, fried starters, and creamy goat cheese. Serve chilled at around 6–8°C, and decanting is not recommended; simply open and enjoy fresh from the bottle.
Producer
Domaine d'Orfeuilles is led by Bernard Hervault and is known for producing expressive wines from Vouvray with a strong commitment to quality and biodynamic viticulture. The estate has built a reputation for crafting wines that highlight the character of Chenin Blanc and the Loire terroir, with this sparkling cuvée standing out as a particularly compelling example.
