As there is no straight Moelleux from the Clos du Bourg this year, I have to assume that there was a bit more botrytis in this vineyard than in the le Haut Lieu or le Mont, and hence why everything sweeter here was made into the Moelleux 1ère Trie bottling. The bouquet is absolutely gorgeous, offering up a more deeply-pitched and glazed blend of yellow plum, fresh apricot, gently-candied quince, honeycomb, heather, lovely soil tones, orange blossoms and a touch of citrus peel in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and beautifully balanced, with a superb core of fruit, a nice touch of soil, fine focus and a long, complex and boundless finish. This is still a puppy, but in due course, it is going to be simply magical juice.
