Domaine de la Fontainerie is one of Vouvray's most quietly celebrated family estates, where winemaker Catherine Dhoye tends old vines on ancient tuffeau limestone soils with a deeply personal, minimal-intervention philosophy.
Working entirely by hand in the vineyard and with the lightest possible touch in the cellar, Catherine allows each vintage to express itself with complete honesty and purity. The result is a range of Chenin Blanc wines — from crisp, mineral Sec to lusciously rich Moelleux — that offer extraordinary character, genuine age-worthiness and exceptional value, proof that world-class Loire Valley wine need not come at a premium price.
