The aperitif wine
Patience is the word we use when we make Moelleux! It is not produced every year; only when the weather conditions are right, which means good temperature and sunny autumn. Le Moelleux Réserve comes from a manual harvest, with a more selective sorting. We chose grapes for their noble rot (dehydrated grapes) or botrytis in wetter years (fungi causing grape rot and concentration).
