A wonderful example of a Loire Sauvignon Blanc. This wine has a lovely grassy, dry, gooseberry fruit and crisp refreshing acidity.

Vouvray Sec Coteau De La Biche 2016, Domaine Pichot

Vouvray Moelleux Le Marigny 2016, Domaine Pichot
£22.25
The word Moelleux here means sweet. This wine has a rich, caramel/honeyed concentration pervasively underscored by a mouth-freshening acidity.

Vouvray Moelleux 1995 'Collection' Domaine Pichot
£38.45
The Pichots’ run of recent vintages has produced a wonderful collection of dry, demi-sec and sweet wines. This is the longest established estate in Vouvray (est. 1739) and their current reputation has been built on their obsessively low yields and rigorous triages during the harvest - the 1995 Vouvray Moelleux “Collection” is the result of a thi...

Vouvray Moelleux 1990 'Collection' Domaine Pichot
£54.35
Tasted in Sept 2017 and a pure delight at 27 years old! Unctuous, rich and obviously sweet but with that fresh lifting vein of acidity which prevents the wine from being cloying or heavy. Flavour like apple tarte tatin and cream. The texture is smooth and the nose is of a cox's orange pippin. This is a wine to foil a savoury or a hard cheese or ...
