Domaine François et Julien Pinon - Vouvray - Le Moelleux 2016

ORGANIC

Key words:  Richness / Gourmand / Exoticism

The wine: This classy weet wine is a blend of two plots of clay soils. 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 to a perfectly balanced sweetness . The body is fluid and the whole is completely digestible thanks to the beautiful innate tension of Chenin. A new superb vintage from the Pinon family!

The estate: Reigning over 15 hectares of certified organic Chenin since the 2003 vintage, The Pinon family comes from a long winemaking tradition since their link to the vine dates back to 1786! Julien represents the 8th generation and is today at the head of this benchmark operation in Vouvray. The estate's plots 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, allowing the production of very high quality vintages. 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!
