Tasting notes
The 2016 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleaux is tropical and slightly oaky on the complex, spicy-mineral nose. Rich, super lush and nicely piquant toward the finish, this is an excellent, complex, well-structured and mineral though young baby Chenin Blanc that doesn't make much sense to be drunk young. The finish is pure, piquant and salty but also very aromatic and complex, with lingering tannin grip and intense fruit. Bottled with 57 grams of residual sugar and just 4.3 grams of acidity, which gives this a charming and mouth-filling character. Fine tannin structure here. Tasted February 2018.

RS 57 g/l. Peach and apricot yoghurt, lovely floral character, medium-bodied palate yet with loads of fleshiness and generosity from the sweetness. (RH)
