Crafted from carefully selected parcels and bottled as a distinct cuvée, La Manoca highlights the estate’s ability to translate site and season into clarity rather than power. It reflects a producer guided by long stewardship and a quiet confidence in letting Chenin Blanc speak without excess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"526\" data-start=\"506\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"526\" data-start=\"506\"\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"602\" data-start=\"567\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"577\" data-start=\"567\"\u003eOwner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Christian Feray (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"641\" data-start=\"605\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"619\" data-start=\"605\"\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jérôme Loisy (male)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"677\" data-start=\"644\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"662\" data-start=\"644\"\u003eGrape Variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chenin Blanc\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"699\" data-start=\"680\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"692\" data-start=\"680\"\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2024\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"716\" data-start=\"702\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-end=\"710\" data-start=\"702\"\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"742\" data-start=\"718\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"742\" data-start=\"718\"\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1272\" data-start=\"744\"\u003eThe nose opens with green apple, quince, and fresh citrus, layered with subtle white florals and a chalky mineral edge. On the palate, the wine is taut and linear, driven by bright acidity and clean orchard fruit, with hints of lemon zest and wet stone carrying through to a dry, refreshing finish. Compared to richer or more textural examples of Vouvray Sec, this bottling emphasizes purity and tension, aligning well with the fresh, vibrant character of the 2024 vintage, which favored aromatic lift and precision over weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1300\" data-start=\"1274\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"1300\" data-start=\"1274\"\u003eProducer’s Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1845\" data-start=\"1302\"\u003eChâteau Moncontour is a historic Loire estate with deep roots in Chenin Blanc, long recognized for its commitment to expressing the grape across dry, off-dry, and sparkling styles.
