The 2018 Clos du Bourg Moelleux is the deepest and most powerful of the three vineyards this year at this sweetness level, but it shares the same sense of refinement found in the Le Haut-Lieu and Le Mont versions. The bouquet is pure and nearly bottomless, delivering a blend of pineapple, apple, quince, honeycomb, delicate, and yet musky floral tones, a great base of soil, orange peel, a touch of bergamot and shadings of what will become barley sugar a couple of decades down the road. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and snappier than the other two Moelleux bottlings, with a great core of fruit, lovely mineral drive on the backend, bright acids and superb length and grip on the nascently complex and very, very promising finish. This will be a legend in due course!
