🏰 The 2008 Foreau Vouvray Moelleux from Domaine du Clos Naudin is hailed as a 'special wine that's so alive and invigorating,' showcasing a vivacious structure and wonderful purity and focus of fruit. 【A special, invigorating sweet wine with vivacious structure and unique gingery notes】 This sweet Chenin Blanc is known for its exceptional quality and potential for extended aging. This Vouvray Moelleux displays a gorgeous deep golden color. The nose offers enticing aromas of peach, apple, honeysuckle, sweet honey, hazelnut, and caramel. On the palate, it delivers quince, kumquat, and citrus flavors, underpinned by a keen mineral streak and a unique gingery note that is characteristic of Foreau's wines. It presents a sweet approach with an almost dry finish, and its high acidity keeps it vibrant, offering a great mouthfeel and a long, mouth-coating finish. 🍴 This exceptional sweet white wine is a perfect accompaniment to fruit-based desserts. It also pairs beautifully with foie gras, blue cheeses like Roquefort or Stilton, and various tarts or crème brûlée. 🥂 An outstanding dessert wine, the 2008 Foreau Vouvray Moelleux is unique and special in its own right, not as sweet as a Sauternes or Tokaj. It has the potential to age for many more years, making it ideal for a celebratory dessert course or as a contemplative sip on its own. Some suggest it might be a bit closed and could benefit from decanting or further cellaring.
