FEATURES
The 1989 Vouvray Moelleux Reserve Premiere Trie from Domaine du Clos Naudin is a testament to a great Vouvray estate, founded in 1923 and now under the stewardship of Vincent Foreau. The "Reserve" label for moelleux wines is reserved for exceptional vintages with ideal conditions for producing outstanding sweet wines, particularly from botrytis-affected fruit. The 1989 vintage is hailed as a brilliant example, already approaching a beautiful drinking plateau yet possessing the potential to age gracefully for another forty to fifty years.
This wine offers a deep, complex, and glorious bouquet, featuring notes of orange, quince, honey, lavender, briny soil tones, new leather, and hints of tea leaves that will further develop with age. On the palate, it is full-bodied, pure, and exquisitely balanced, with a solid core of fruit, remarkable intensity, bright acidity, and a stunningly long finish. Additional tasting notes include apricot, peach, apple, various citrus fruits, ginger, tropical notes like pineapple and guava, and subtle hints of vanilla and oak. 【Exceptional sweet wine from a great vintage with decades of aging potential】

Event suggestions: An ideal choice for a significant anniversary, a sophisticated dessert course at a formal gathering, or a contemplative tasting session to appreciate its remarkable evolution and longevity. This is a wine to be savored and remembered.
