‘The 2023 Vouvray Moelleux Clos du Bourg is a very peaceful wine, hushing the drinker. It reminds me of sitting on a pew in an empty church. Seamless, tranquil and un-showy, its sweetness lends silkiness to its core and allows it to bloom. Aromatically, there's not much going on here at the moment, but it is quite young and has ample length and purity. This is satisfying, calm and meditative, with fine texture and a cooling minty note on the long finish. It was only bottled three weeks ago, but I’m a fan already. The 2023 finished at 74 grams per liter of residual sugar, with a pH of 3.45. 850 bottles produced. 2025-2046’ – Rebecca Gibb MW, Vinous, 98/100
‘Juicy, full and extremely elegant, with notes of warm apple and baking spices contrasted with bitter dried lemon peel and chamomile tea. Thanks to the savory, saline energy and racy edge, this is rich yet not heavy, offering a lot of dimension and finishing clean and pure, with impressive length. At the drier, very food-friendly end of the moelleux spectrum. Drink now through 2037.’ – Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, 94/100
