Domaine Pichot Le Marigny Moelleux Vouvray 2018 Classic Balanced

Pichot Le Marigny Moelleux comes off a 10 hectare vineyard. The vines allow the Pichot Le Marigny to be sweet but not overpoweringly so. There is enough acidity in Pichot le Marigny to balance the sugar and enough fruit to sit on top and make it appealing. Pichot Le Marigny smells of florals, citrus and stone fruits with the classic Vouvray mineral notes. On the palate, Pichot Le Marigny is round and generous. Plenty of obvious flavours, and while it is sweet at the front, the acidity keeps it clean on the finish and on the refreshing side.

I had the pleasure of drinking a 2009 Pichot Le Marigny in April 2021, and it was magnificent. It was fresh and vibrant, with just a hint of savoury notes creeping in. I would happily tell you to buy Pichot Le Marigny 2018 now and drink it from now until 2068 at least, especially because the screw-cap seal will keep it fresh.

The easy pairing for Pichot Le Marigny is goats cheese, or blue cheese. But Pichot Le Marigny will actually go with more dishes than you'd initially think because the acidity and savoury notes really add versatility.

The Pichot family is one of the oldest in Vouvray, with origins as viticulturists and restaurateurs going back to 1739. Their vineyard holdings are located mostly in the prime sites of Le Mont and Haut Lieu at the top of the village, with several other holdings scattered throughout the appellation. Domaine
