ABOUT THE WINE
From the prized Le Mont vineyard—celebrated for its limestone-driven soils and naturally refined expression—this Moelleux showcases both purity and depth in the 2023 vintage. The aromatics are vivid and complex, revealing golden orchard fruits, pineapple, chamomile, and delicate saffron nuances, often enhanced by partial botrytis influence.

As a Moelleux, the wine carries a significant level of residual sugar, yet remains impeccably balanced by Chenin Blanc’s naturally high acidity. The result is a wine that feels both opulent and precise, with a silky, layered mouthfeel and a persistent mineral core. Fermentation is conducted with indigenous yeasts, followed by élevage in neutral oak barrels on fine lees, contributing subtle texture without overshadowing the fruit or terroir.

The structure and balance of the 2023 vintage point to excellent aging potential, with the wine expected to evolve toward deeper notes of dried apricot, honeycomb, beeswax, and toasted almond over time. It pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses, tarte Tatin, and spiced or savory-sweet dishes, while also serving as a compelling standalone wine.
