Beautifully golden colored wine. The nose is rich and complex. Notes of fruit pasta envelop delicious aromas of candied citrus and honey. In the mouth, the attack is fresh, astonishing by its liveliness and the intensity of its perfumes.
The finish is long, lemony, bringing a nice tension to the finish. It's beautiful, perfumed, and incredibly fresh!
The wine Vouvray Moelleux has been resting for 25 years in the estate's tufa cellars. Preserved in optimal conditions, it has developed tertiary aromas of great complexity.
The harvest is late, and the berries are sorted first in the vineyard, a second time on the sorting table and one last time in the cellar, before pressing. The fermentation is slow, with native yeasts. The must is then aged on fine lees for 4 to 5 months and filtered before bottling.
We tasted this sweet wine at the end of the year 2018. It was a revelation. We had never drunk sweet wines of such an age with such an acidity: is it really a sweet wine? No doubt, the complexity and richness of the candied flavors betray an advanced degree of the grapes maturity. What a liveliness after so many year in cellar! Wonderful!
