2019 Vouvray Los Clos AOP

Vouvray is one of the Loire Valley’s most captivating wines — and one of the most misunderstood. Made entirely from Chenin Blanc, it can range from bone dry to lusciously sweet, but it’s always defined by extraordinary acidity, mineral precision, and a longevity that rivals the great wines of Burgundy. This 2019 Les Clos AOP is a beautiful expression of Vouvray at its most compelling: rich, textured, and alive with the kind of complexity that keeps you coming back for another sip. A wine for the curious and the discerning.

Wine Details & Tasting Notes

Tasting Notes: Pale gold with aromas of quince, honeysuckle, green apple, and a hint of wet stone and beeswax. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, flavors of ripe pear, lemon curd, and subtle floral notes, and a long, mineral-driven finish. The 2019 vintage brought exceptional ripeness to the Loire — this wine has both richness and precision in perfect balance.

Food Pairing

Vouvray’s combination of richness, acidity, and mineral character makes it one of the most food-versatile whites in the world. The ripe fruit and textured palate make it a natural match for roasted pork tenderloin, pan-seared chicken with cream sauce, and fresh water fish like trout or pike. It’s a classic Loire pairing with rillettes, goat cheese (chèvre), and fresh baguette. Also wonderful alongside Thai dishes, Vietnamese spring rolls, and anything with a touch of sweetness or spice. For a stunning cheese pairing, try it with aged Comté or a creamy Camembert — the acidity cuts through the richness beautifully.

Wine Producer / Historical Notes

Vouvray, located just east of Tours in the heart of the Loire Valley, is one of France’s most storied white wine appellations. Chenin Blanc — known locally as Pineau de la Loire — has been cultivated here for over a thousand years, producing wines of extraordinary longevity and complexity. The region’s tuffeau (limestone) soils and continental climate create ideal conditions for Chenin Blanc to express its full range — from steely and mineral to rich and honeyed. Great Vouvray can age for decades, developing layers of complexity that rival the finest white Burgundies. This 2019 Les Clos is a wine with a long and beautiful future ahead of it.
