Perennial favorite

Posted on September 3, 2008 by RJ

Domaine Le Peu de la Moriette (Domaine Pichot), Vouvray 2007 This wine embodies the sweet and tart character that Chenin can show so well when there’s a bit of residual sugar. Unfortunately our latest bottle in May of ’09 is a bit corked. The grapes are hand harvested from calcerous clay slopes with yields around 25 hectolitres/hectare. The wine is fermented and aged in large old wood of 450 litres. Mis par Jean-Claude Pichot, proprietaires-recoltants in Vouvray 12% $11.99 at Bottle Barn
