Domaine Le Peu de la Moriette (Domaine Pichot), Vouvray 2009 The nose is a little dead on the first bottle opened – I suspect a low level of TCA. Fortunately, the second and third bottles have a much more vivid expression of fruit when you smell them. In the mouth you can taste plenty of stone fruits while the acidity is balanced by a little residual sugar.
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% purchased for $11.99 at Bottle Barn
