The 2018 Vouvray Clos du Bourg Moelleux is ripe and already quite open on the remarkably fine and precise nose where delicate chalky notes intermix with yeasty aromas of ripe apples and even very fine flinty hints. On the palate, this is a sweet, lush, salty-piquant and refined but tightly woven Chenin with structure, remarkable finesse, tickling salinity and serious but fine tannins, as if it was a Pinot Noir. Filigreed and feminine on the tongue, the 2018 develops a long, tensioned, tightly woven and stimulatingly salty finish. Great class and aging potential. Tasted in May 2019. SR – The Wine Advocate
The 2018 Moelleux Clos du Bourg is fabulous in the way it captures the richness of the style while remaining so transparent. Quite simply, the 2018 possesses mind-bending elegance and a total sense of finesse. Tangerine oil, almond, dried flowers and chamomile all flesh out with a bit of time. What I admire most about the 2018 is transparency and the eternal finish. What a wine! Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media
