Montlouis-sur-Loire AOC
Summary
French appellation located directly across the Loire river from Vouvray AOC. Focused on similar single varietal white wines that come in a range of styles and sweetness levels. Soils are tuffeau based, with a sandy topsoil that lends to less sharply defined wines that tend to mature earlier. Home to the first AOC highlighting a gently sparkling fruity Pétillant Naturel wine made by a single fermentation, and bottled while still in an active ferment.
