Domaine d’Orfeuilles is a historic estate founded in 1947 on the former grounds of a medieval château. Today, Bernard and Arnaud Herivault manage the 23‑hectare vineyard, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern precision. Their Chenin Blanc vines grow on south‑facing slopes of clay, limestone, and flinty soils—ideal conditions for producing expressive Vouvray wines. Committed to organic and biodynamic farming, the estate focuses on preserving soil vitality and crafting wines that showcase purity, elegance, and the authentic character of the terroir.

Winemaking

Touraine Rosé is produced according to the Traditional Method. It comes from a refined blend of three grape varieties: 30% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Franc, and 30% Grolleau. After the first alcoholic fermentation in temperature‑controlled tanks, the base wines undergo a second fermentation in the bottle, followed by three to four years of aging. After riddling, the bottles are disgorged, marking the final stage of production.

Tasting notes

A bright rosé color with subtle silvery reflections, accompanied by fine, persistent bubbles. The nose is expressive, showing aromas of red fruits such as wild strawberry and raspberry. On the palate, it reveals freshness and a touch of liveliness that softens quickly.
Serving temperature: 6–8°C. Cellaring: 1 to 2 years in the cellar after disgorgement.

A friendly, approachable wine, perfect as an aperitif.
