Distributor's Notes:

"Belonging to the Feray family since 2005, Petit Coteau is a 16-hectare vineyard run following principles of organic farming. The wines come from a single plot located at a place called "Les Grenouilles" in Vernou-sur-Brenne where vines grow on silty clay soil. Domaine du Petit Coteau produces sparkling and sec (dry) Vouvray along with moelleux and liquoreux Vouvray (sweet and botritys). Benefitiating from an excellent location between the village of Vernou and the village of Chancay, Domaine du Petit Côteau vineyard is close to the Loire river and up to the Brenne (a small river which is going to the Loire in front of Moncontour) with a good sun exposition. This location offers a great temperature variation between day and night as well as a good aeration for the grape. The soil is mostly clay and calcareous."
