Château Moncontour
Château Moncontour sits in Touraine, the heart of the Loire Valley's sparkling wine country. The winery focuses on Chenin Blanc, the region's signature white variety—a grape that thrives in these cool conditions and yields wines of mineral precision and age-worthiness. The Cuvée Prédilection Vouvray Brut and La Manoca Vouvray Sec showcase the variety's range: the former a structured, complex sparkler; the latter a dry still wine with the bright acidity and stone-fruit character Vouvray is known for. The Eugénie Grandet Blanc de Blancs Touraine blends Chardonnay with Chenin Blanc, adding textural richness to the house's portfolio. These wines have been assessed by Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, and Decanter.
