Wine Advocate: 94+ PointsThe yellow-golden colored 1995 Vouvray le Mont Moelleux is super clear and piquant on the spicy/peppery flavored nose with its perfectly ripe and elegant, perfectly balanced fruit. It has the same balance on the palate that...

Wine Spectator: 97 Points Loaded with mango, quince and fig fruit that works harmoniously with green almond, floral and mineral notes. Terrific creamy texture hides the latent acidity while the flavors glaze your palate on the finish. Both pure and...

Wine Spectator:  96 Points Unctuous, concentrated and refined, this holds a large core of quince, creamed Anjou pear and white ginger notes in reserve for now, while heather, chamomile, orange blossom and white peach flavors take the lead. When the...

Importer Notes:  If you’ve ever wondered what a wine “fit for a king” tastes like, this is one of those. It’s a funny thing with these Brézé wines that the first glass can often times leave you wondering if this...

Wine & Spirits: This chenin’s broad flavors of quince paste have a fresh lanolin note. It’s bold and juicy, with sweetness cut by slightly starchy acidity, the wine’s youthful tension needing bottle age to mellow. (4/2016) Wine...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 98 Points The 2015 Vouvray Le Mont Moelleux Première Trie is super clear, ripe and aromatic on the nose, highly elegant and with lovely flinty flavors. Intense and concentrated, with great finesse and vitality,...

Wine Enthusiast: 92 PointsThis is the estate wine from this property, owned by the same family for 600 years. It is a rich wine, one that needs to age with its intense green and citrus fruits, a mineral texture and a touch of saltiness at the end. Drink...

Winemaker's Note:Taking its roots deep into the chalk soils of Vouvray, this off-dry wine resonates beautifully in the mouth. Its natural sugar and refreshing acidity blend harmoniously. Aerial and complex, this fruity wine is to be appreciated young,...

Winemaker's Note:The vines are farmed using biodynamic methods and harvested by hand. Gaston Huët believed this to be the greatest of all Vouvray vineyards. This ancient, walled vineyard has the estate’s shallowest, stoniest soils. The wines...

If you’re like me, you have a house full of wine and nothing to drink!  It’s a First World problem, sure, but a problem nonetheless.  Thank goodness colleagues Frank and Matt are in my life.  They’ve made it their...

With its bitter almond and kiwi fruit flavors, this is a classic sparkling Vouvray, laced with intense acidity. It's fresh, just off-dry, with concentrated fruit flavors.
