Pour this cold and it's honestly a bit of a charmer. Soft, gently sweet, all ripe peach and a little floral lift, none of that lip-puckering dry edge. It's the bottle for the friend who says they don't really do wine. Pop it for a sundowner, a chilled night in, or anything spicy that needs cooling down.
The nose is fresh and floral with a wave of ripe orchard fruit, think pear and apricot just off the tree. On the palate it's soft and rounded with sweet stone fruit and a touch of tropical, mango and pineapple sneaking in. The sweetness is the gentle 'moelleux' kind, balanced by enough freshness that it never feels sticky. It finishes light and easy, no harsh edges, just a clean little fade.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes out of South West France, the warm, sunny corner near Gascony that quietly makes some of the country's most easy-going wines. It's part of the Montmeyrac range from Les Grands Chais de France, one of the country's biggest family wine houses, built to make honest, fruit-forward bottles without the fuss or the eye-watering price tag. 'Moelleux' is just the French word for medium-sweet, soft and mellow, and that's exactly what they nailed here.
