2018 Boutet Saulnier Vouvray Moelleux

A rare, sweet Moelleux Chenin Blanc! Hand harvested noble‑rot affected Chenin Blanc grape sgive the signature moelleux style, rich with residual sugar but anchored by Vouvray’s hallmark high acidity. Lusciously sweet but not too heavy, this is like apricot nectar from the gods. Apricot, peach, white flowers, beeswax and citrus zest.  Christophe Boutet took over the family estate Domaine Boutet Saulnier in 1997 after his father’s death. Since 2011, Christophe and his wife (the estate’s only employees!) have practiced sustainable agriculture on their 30 acres of vineyards and are moving towards organic viticulture. The Boutets have excellent vineyards in the small Vouvray appellation with the famous Domaine Huet’s vines as neighbors.
