Domaine François Chidaine Vin de France (Vouvray) Moelleux 2018, Loire Valley, France. This late‑harvest Chenin Blanc from deep clay and chalky limestone parcels around Vouvray delivers a captivating nose of honey, quince, apricot and ripe orchard fruits, with hints of pineapple and citrus peel adding lift and complexity.

On the palate, the Domaine François Chidaine Vouvray Moelleux 2018 is silk‑textured and moderately sweet rather than heavy, layering stone fruit, honeycomb and exotic fruit over vibrant acidity and pronounced mineral drive for a long, precise finish. Brilliant with blue cheese, fruit tarts, or spicy Asian dishes – a superb moelleux for both contemplative sipping and food pairing.​
