Producer Information
Domaine Plou, situated on the banks of the River Loire has been in the same family since 1508, just a few years before Leonardo da Vinci arrived at the nearby Château d’Amboise.
Over those 500 years, winemaking tradition has been passed down through the generations, the right vines have found the ideal vineyards sites, and the secrets of each parcel have been handed down and are now integral to their DNA. The estate now stretches over 75 hectares and it’s current custodians, Mathieu and Guillaume Plou produce a range of wines which typify the soils and grapes from this ancient viticultural land.
Production Information
The wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle to create fine, gentle yet persistent bubbles. Bottles at the lower pressure of 2.9 bar, Tuffeau is sealed with a crown cap.
The name of this cuvée, ‘Tuffeau’ refers to the creamy white stone, so typical of this part of the Loire Valley, which makes for beautiful buildings as well as crisp, mineral and balanced sparkling wines.
Crisp, elegant and full of minimality.
