Domaine Robert-Gandon - Vouvray Moelleux 2022

Domaine Robert-Gandon was established in 1973 by Christiane and Alain Robert with only two hectares. Today, the estate is comprised of 37 hectares of sustainably farmed, southwest- and southeast-facing vineyards located in Noizay and Chançay on slopes of flint, clay and fossil concretion, overlooking the Loire. Their bush-trained and trellised vines are protected from the northern winds from the Les Charmes forest. Since 2014, Christiane and Robert's children, Cyril and Catherine, have taken over the reins.

The Robert-Gandon Vourvay Moelleux pours a brilliant mid-gold color in the glass. Aromas of dried tree fruits, honeycomb and citrus blossoms engage the senses with a gentle swirl. The palate is medium-bodied with an invitingly silky texture, offering flavors of apricot, Fuji apple and honeyed Cara Cara oranges. There is a fine, tantalizing acidity that runs throughout, perfectly balancing the delicate sweetness of this wine. A perfect pairing for goat cheese (try Humboldt Fog or Le Chevrot) or enjoy with baked ham or most exotic-spiced dishes. Also great to accompany dessert!
