Domaine Champalou’s Vouvray Sec Le Portail can add an air of sophistication to any dinner table or special occasion. Enjoy a bottle and savour the very essence of traditional French winemaking.

Tasting Notes

Le Portail is a gastronomic wine- its fullness, opulence and fruity aromas balance each other delightfully with Crustaceans, such as the lobsters and scallops, just as with white meats and delicately spiced fish. Do not hesitate to serve Le Portail alongside a plate of cheese.
