Lauroux Moelleux 2005

Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne Moelleux 2005

At Domaine de Lauroux, our ethos of minimal chemical intervention coupled with biodynamically-approved treatments and traditional growing methods produces clean, fresh, well-balanced wines.  Filtration is carried out using bentonite and diatomeous earth - a form of clay; rather than chemicals. 

Fermentation uses naturally-occurring yeasts, supplemented only when absolutely necessary.  During fermentation our wines are closely monitored and analysed twice-daily.  Sulphites, used to prevent the wines from oxidising, are kept to a minimum by frequent testing and levels are only adjusted if essential.  Our wines are made without using animal by-products, making them suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Made from 100% Gros Manseng grapes from the vines on the slopes behind our winery.  The grapes are late harvested and left to mature until the last possible moment before the frosts arrive - the yield is lower but the quality is proven in the taste.

Our Moelleux 2005 is fruity, fresh, rich and full of honey - sweet but definitely not syrupy, giving a fine and pleasant taste on the palette.

                                   Delicious with a fruit based or chocolate dessert but equally good chilled as an aperitif.
