Wine information

The Clos du Bourg is located above the church of Vouvray and comprises six hectares of vineyards surrounded by an old stone wall - hence "Clos". It is one of the oldest Grand Cru plots in France. It was already mentioned in the 7th century. The flat soil of the vineyard consists of clay with flint and chalk inclusions. It is situated on a typical Turonian tuffeau limestone rock. Here, the vines reach the tufa after only one metre.

The harvest took place in 2020 between 7 September and 25 September. As the vintage was strongly characterised by sun and warmth, mainly residually sweet wines were produced. As usual, the grapes were meticulously sorted, pressed and spontaneously fermented. Malolactic fermentation took place only in exceptional cases and in individual barrels. The wine was matured in used demi-muids. At Clos du Bourg Moelleux »Première Trie«is a wine with residual sweetness, in which the first botrytised grapes have found their way into the wine. In this case, residual sweetness means 93 g/l.

Color

Light golden yellow with copper reflections

Nose

The Clos du Bourg Moelleux »Première Trie« is a wine of luscious ripeness with simultaneous precision and refinement. It smells like a big basket of fully ripe stone fruit, freshly sliced mirabelles, apricots and peaches, candied and dried fruit, apple peel and tobacco, a little cooked green pineapple chutney, smoke and rock. They are joined by a few kumquats and a little tarte tatin. 

Palate

This complex interplay of aromas in the bouquet requires a first sip. Once it is on the tongue, the pleasure of this wine is even greater. The Clos du Bourg Moelleux »Première Trie« At 93 grams, it has the highest sweetness of the three. »Première Trie«, but at the same time also has the deepest minerality and the greatest depth. It is a great wine, still in the making, but already elegant and seductive, piquant in its aromas of citrus peel, salty with the notes of stone and with a little botrytis, juicy in its white and yellow fleshed multilayered fruit of peaches, quinces, papayas, yellow plums, oranges and melons.
