Damien Pichot Vouvray Le Marigny 2022 750ml

From the same superb premiere coteau vineyard site that produces the Moelleux wine listed below, comes a new demi-sec bottling. Hand picked fruit is slowly pressed over 6 hours and then cold-settled for another 48 hours before fermentation in 80 % stainless steel tanks and 20 % 300 litre oak barrels. The wine is kept on fine lees over winter and bottled with about 15 g/L of residual sugar, which beautifully balances the high natural acidity of the Chenin Blanc variety. A natural aperitif, the tension and vibrancy of this wine means it can also partner a wide range of seafood and white meats throughout the meal. Aromatic lift of exotic fruits, fresh limes and concentrated depth of fruit, long, fine and balanced.
Very smart. .. From the winery: “Brilliant, golden color, nose of candied fruit, notes of honey, orange, candied mandarin. The palate is lively, without heaviness, the liveliness balances the sugars with a long finish.
