This is a wine built on site expression rather than winemaking imprint, staying true to the Mosse family's low-intervention approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the vineyard, farming is organic and biodynamic in philosophy, with old Chenin vines rooted deep in mineral-rich soils that bring natural tension and salinity to the wine. In the cellar, fruit is handled with minimal disruption: native yeast fermentation, little to no fining or filtration, and élevage in older barrels and neutral vessels to preserve detail rather than add weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 vintage delivered a warm but balanced growing season in the Loire, giving a slightly riper fruit profile while retaining the cut that defines great Chenin. The nose opens with ripe citrus, quince, and yellow apple, layered with subtle floral notes and a faint waxy, honeyed undertone. On the palate it is linear and tightly coiled, driven by chalky acidity and a saline, almost smoky mineral backbone. There is concentration, but it never turns heavy — everything pulls into a clean, extended finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is Chenin at the more serious, structural end of the Mosse range. It drinks well now with air, but really starts to show its full dimension with a few years of bottle age, where texture and complexity take over from primary fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Appellance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50155995431105,"sku":null,"price":102.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0843\/3428\/0897\/files\/mosse_r.webp?v=1776984794","url":"https:\/\/appellance.com\/products\/mosse-le-rouchefer-2022-chenin-blanc-loire-valley","provider":"Appellance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
