Description
Mouillard’s intention is a fresh, vibrant wine and that’s exactly what you’ve got in the glass. But don’t mistake that for simple. Chilled, it’s all crunchy sweet orchard fruit, apples and pears and mirabelles. As it warms, little fingertips of caramel, smoke, sweet pastry and cumin seed appear. The freshness comes from a tinge of bay-leaf bitterness and a long spine of acidity, so ripe it’s almost succulent. Succulent, but don’t mistake that for plump. The wine is shaped by its bones and not by its flesh. Although it has enough of the latter to distract you from the former. It’s not your usual Chardonnay.
