Domaine de la Pierre Gravée – Inspirations – Vouvray 2022
Located in the heart of the Loire Valley, Domaine de la Pierre Gravée is passionately dedicated to cultivating the emblematic grape of the Vouvray appellation: Chenin Blanc. On soils of tuffeau and calcareous clay, the estate seeks to express the richness of this unique terroir through precise, elegant cuvées that embody the Loire’s identity.
The Inspirations 2022 cuvée highlights the freshness and purity of Chenin. The 2022 vintage, marked by generous sunshine, produced perfectly ripe grapes that delivered balanced, aromatic wines of great clarity. This cuvée is distinguished by its mineral tension, liveliness, and clean aromatic expression—a faithful reflection of the Vouvray appellation.
Its pale-yellow robe with bright reflections precedes an expressive nose of white flowers, quince, and fresh pear. On the palate, the attack is lively and elegant, supported by fine acidity that enhances the fruit’s generosity. The long, mineral finish reveals delicate notes of citrus and light honey. A refined wine, both fresh and structured, ideal with fine fish, creamy poultry dishes, or local Loire goat cheeses.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
