Description
The 2018 Vouvray Moelleux Réserve from Domaine du Clos Naudin Foreau Vincent is an exceptional sweet white wine made from Chenin Blanc.

The 2018 vintage is considered an outstanding year for Vouvray’s sweet wines, marked by ideal weather conditions.
This wine stands out for its natural sweetness, perfectly balanced by lively and refreshing acidity. Clos Naudin is known for its precise winemaking, producing wines that are both rich and elegant.
Blend
The Vouvray Moelleux Réserve is made from 100% Chenin Blanc, a noble grape variety from the Loire Valley, known for its ability to produce sweet wines while maintaining remarkable acidity and freshness. The grapes come from old vines planted on clay-limestone soils, typical of the Vouvray terroir.
Tasting notes
Color: The wine has a brilliant golden hue, almost amber, with golden reflections that highlight its richness and aging potential.
Nose: The nose is complex and expressive, revealing aromas of candied fruits (apricot, pear, quince), honey, and subtle floral notes of linden and acacia. Mineral touches complete the aromatic bouquet.
Palate: On the palate, the wine is generous and full-bodied, with well-balanced sweetness and vibrant acidity. The flavors of candied fruits are complemented by honey, beeswax, and a characteristic minerality. The finish is long, fresh, and persistent, leaving a silky sensation.
Aging potential
This wine has excellent aging potential. It can be enjoyed now to appreciate its freshness and aromatic richness, but it will continue to evolve favorably over the next 20 to 30 years, developing more complex notes and an even rounder, more harmonious texture.
