Vouvray, a pleasant town of 3,000 people on the north bank of the river, just upstream from the urban sprawl of Tours, hugs the base of a line of modest, chalky limestone cliffs.
To understand Vouvray’s array, you have to know that (in the Loire Valley, at least) chenin blanc flowers early and ripens late, displays an astonishing range of sugar when ripe, and retains a lot of acidity even in the presence of high sugar.
Some years in Vouvray produce a preponderance of semisweet, sweet, and even supersweet wines, while others produce nothing sweeter than a sec (theoretically containing less than four grams of residual sugar), with the bulk of the crop sometimes ending up in sparkling wine—which has the lowest requirement for sugar and potential alcohol.

 Frank Sutherland on Wine -- Vouvray wines sail well with shellfish -- The Detroit News Online
Vouvray is made from chenin blanc grapes, and the area of Vouvray in France's Loire Valley grows some of the best in the world.
The chenin blanc is a superb grape for matching with shrimp or lobster, but the trick is discovering whether the wine is sweet or dry.
Many wine drinkers who prefer dry wines might balk at a sweeter wine, but the sweetness is often needed to balance the chenin blanc's bright, bordering-on-bitter acids.

CAULFIELD trainer Peter Moody yesterday claimed Caulfield Cup favourite El Segundo was potentially the best horse in Australia but said he still fancied his chances of upsetting the four-year-old with his mare Vouvray in Saturday's $2.5 million race.
Moments after El Segundo tightened his grip on the cup after drawing ideally in barrier four yesterday, Moody queried whether El Segundo would be seasoned enough to cope with the pressure of a Caulfield Cup — something he does not doubt with his five-year-old mare Vouvray, who will jump from gate 14 on Saturday.
