Tasting Notes

WA96
The golden yellow 2009 Vouvray Moelleux offers an awesome rich bouquet of a full basket of super ripe white and yellow-fleshed fruits with pure and mineral highlighted aromas as well as colored blossoms, yellow paprika, ginger, coriander, white pepper, toasted peanuts and speck. Bottled with 80 grams of residual sugar, this is a full-bodied, complex, and very elegant almost perfect moelleux à la Foreau, a really rich, ripe, sweet and perfectly balanced wine of great finesse and a persistent freshness due to the lingering salinity and piquancy. This great Moelleux is surely made from healthy berries and for all Chenin lovers and their following generations this is a must buy.
V92
Golden yellow. Supple aromas of ripe apricot, candied pineapple, quince and herbal spices. Unctuous nectarine fruit is given a vivacious character by subtle framing acidity. Well-balanced acidity shows just enough spice on the finish. Classically rich in style, this is best served with apple pie at present. With another few years of bottle age, it can also accompany foie gras.
