$47.50
SPECIAL 3 bottle buy. Ultimate dessert and cheese wine.
Description
The Pichot family is one of the oldest in Vouvray with origins as restaurateurs going back to 1739 later followed by the purchase of the superb Coteau de la Biche vineyards in 1770 establishing them as growers to help supply the restaurant. Their vineyard holdings are mostly located all at the top of the village with the largest holding which makes up their classic Coteau de la Biche in the prime Vallee de Nouys which is perfectly sited for making drier styles of wine and faces south-east. The Pichot family also own most of the “premiere coteau” site of Le Marigny located just above the village opposite Clos du Bourg. These are quite simply regarded as being amongst the very best vineyard sites of the appellation.
“..in 1984 when the young Christophe Pichot, Jean-Claude’s son, acquired 8 hectares in Le Marigny, making him the main exponent of one of the appellation’s most desirable vineyards (even if it is persistently overshadowed by the likes of Clos du Bourg, Clos Baudoin and Le Mont).“ winedoctor.com
About this wine:
From the superb premiere coteau vineyard site (Pichot owning about 90% of this prime site) located just above the village to the west of 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 having sufficient acidity. Drinking well now and will age effortlessly. 750ml size bottles. Under Cork.
”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
