There is not only one Vouvray but several different Vouvrays. The wine can be sweet, flavored or full-body and dry. But one can say that Vouvray is always at its best.

The sweet wine has a golden color, is vigorous, fruity and fresh. The dry and semi dry are rich and intense.

There is also a sparkling wine in Vouvray. It is fruity as well - a trademark of the Vouvray terroir in the Loire Valley - and can mature for a few years which is quite uncommon for a sparkling wine.

Vouvray is definitely an unique wine, well more accurately, Vouvray are a few unique wines !
