Unlike the Silex, the Vouvray sec from Domaine d’Orfeuilles does not mature in the wooden barrels, so it is a fruitier type of Chenin Blanc. This wine is also fermented without the addition of fermentation yeast. Its structure and ageing potential also comes from months of yeast storage. The wine has the typical flavors of a Loire Chenin Blanc such as pear, ginger, quince and cardamom. On the palate it is full-bodied, but well balanced, with a very good length in the finale. According to the winery, this wine can also be stored for up to 15 years.
