Wine

2015 Clos du Bourg Moelleux 1ère Trie Huet, Vouvray

Color

deep golden yellow

Nose

Everything about this 1ère Trie shows lush ripeness, depth and complexity. The »Clos du Bourg" smells like a big basket of fully ripe stone fruit, freshly sliced mirabelles, apricots and peaches, and the same is there again in candied and dried form. They are joined by honeydew melons, kumquats and sultanas. Over everything there is an almost beguiling mist of butterscotch.

Palate

The 1ère Trie is undoubtedly a wine to put in the cellar now, to open the first bottle maybe in five years and the last maybe in fifty. And yet, the Clos du Bourg makes it very difficult to simply put it down after the first tasting bottle. It presents itself too juicy already, the acidity of the 2015 vintage is too perfect that you don't want to enjoy the greatness of this wine now. The Clos du Bourg presents itself almost creamy on the tongue. The fruit of peach, quince, papaya, yellow plum, orange and melon is as concentrated as it is layered. The spices that play a role here almost call for a combination with Arabic or Asian cuisine, which is characterized by curry, saffron, coconut and ginger. But also the classic French cuisine has of course suitable answers to this great Chenin Blanc.
