2020 Domaine Pichot L’Electron Libre Vouvray Eleve en fut de chene

A new cuvee for Domaine Pichot this wine comes from a selection of each of the 10 plots of the Pichot family vines situated among the best placed premier coteau vineyard sites of the village and near the family winery in the Vallee de Nouys. It was fermented in stainless steel then aged in 100% new oak barrels for 12 months. Only 10 barrels were made.
Bright straw colour with a watery hue. Lifted baked pear and apple aromas are interwoven with quince, honeysuckle and spicy cinnamon notes. Rich, full and textural the palate is engulfed with luscious ripe Jonathan apple, baked pear, honeysuckle and cinnamon flavours. Some musk and spicy quince characteristics lurk in the background. Fantastic depth, volume and concentration. Finishes fresh, long and spicy with a dash of residual sweetness.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
Alc. 12%
