🏰 The 2018 vintage was exceptionally successful for the Loire Valley, with a fantastic spring ensuring excellent flowering and fruit set. Foreau's Vouvray Moelleux Réserve is a rare bottling, only released in vintages blessed with conditions that produce grapes of exceptional complexity and ripeness, often with residual sugar levels exceeding 150 grams. This 2018 offers a stunning display of richness, power, and energy, oozing kumquat, crushed peach, and apple pie coated in honeycomb, with chamomile, warm hay, and tropical highlights. Despite its opulence, it maintains intense energy, with green tea tannins firming up the dense, oily textured palate. Notes of salt, bitter green almond, and smoked acacia play out on a very long finish. It also presents a super aromatic profile of honeysuckle, beeswax, yellow blossoms, and lemon-drizzled apricots, coating the palate with fresh intensity before a bracing acidity cleanses it. 【A rare and exceptional Moelleux Réserve, offering stunning richness, power, and intense energy from a successful Loire vintage】. 🍴 This exquisite sweet wine is a classic pairing for fruit-based desserts.
