Domaine François et Julien Pinon - Vouvray - Le Moelleux 2016

ORGANIC

Key words: Wealth / Gluttony / Exoticism

The wine: This high-class sweet is a blend of two plots with clayey. If its sweetness and its delicious aromas of quince jelly, mirabelle plum, pineapple, mango, white flowers and butter are seducers, here we absolutely never fall into heaviness thanks toa perfectly balanced sweetness . The material is fluid and the whole is totally digestible thanks to the beautiful innate tension of Chenin. Another superb vintage from the Pinon family!

The estate:Rruling over 15 hectares of certified organic Chenin since the 2003 vintage, the Pinon family comes from a long winegrowing tradition since their link to the vineyard dates back to 1786! Julien represents the 8th generation and is today at the head of this benchmark operation in Vouvray. The plots of the estate have varied exposures and a large part of the vines are over 40 years old. The whites are vinified in oak barrels on fine lees for 4 to 5 months while the sparkling wines undergo long aging on slats, making it possible to produce very qualitative cuvées. Interventionism is minimal at all stages of production to be as close as possible to the terroir. A family offering delicious chenins that you will love!
