Pichot Vouvray Moelleux le Marigny 2020

From the superb première coteau vineyard site located just above the village, across the valley from Le Clos du Bourg. A gently sweet moelleux with residual sugar around 70 grams per litre making this a wine that will match with so many desserts rather than competing with them for sweetness. Also goes superbly with many rich cheeses and has a special affinity with Forme d'Ambert blue from the nearby Auvergne region: the cheese is actually injected with Vouvray Moelleux during its ageing process! Drinking well now and will age effortlessly for decades.

”A 10-hectare parcel produces the fruit for the nobly rotted 2020 Vouvray Moelleux Le Marigny. It's relatively aromatic, offering up florals, orange and apricots on the nose. On the palate, it's round and sweet and super easy to like, sitting comfortably in the mouth like honey.” 89 points, Vinous Media, March 2021
