Pierre Jean Comte Tolosan IGP Moelleux

Pierre Jean is one of the few wineries that also produces a wine for those with a sweet tooth. The mild, slightly sweet flavor of this white wine sets it apart. Since 1914, Yvon Mau has headed the winery from which Pierre Jean wines originate. The story goes that this man was cycling through France in search of fine wines. After finding the perfect location around 1913, he became the owner of the winery in 1914, which is still known by his name, Yvon Mau. This man was always searching for gems from unknown sources. High-quality wines at a very reasonable price. This is certainly still reflected in Pierre Jean wines today. Pierre Jean is named after Yvon Mau's grandson, who also proudly led the winery for many years.

White wine with a slightly sweet taste

The vineyards for Colombard and Ugni Blanc are located in Tolosan. In this warm and sunny climate, the grapes for this slightly sweet white wine grow peacefully. Thanks to the abundant sunshine, the sugar content in the grapes can build up nicely. The vines for these grapes have an average age of 15 to 20 years. This results in full-bodied and powerful grapes, perfect for making a slightly sweet wine. When the grapes have reached the right ripeness, they are harvested mechanically and transported in small crates to the winery. Here, vinification takes place by grape variety, after which the final blend is created. After bottling, the wine is aged for another three months in the bottle in Pierre Jean's cellars. The result? A true crowd-pleaser with a pleasant sweetness.

The taste of Pierre Jean Moelleux

Pouring this white Pierre Jean Moelleux reveals a beautiful straw-yellow color, characteristic of this type of wine. It also releases wonderfully full aromas of ripe yellow fruit like peach and apricot. The delightfully sweet undertone has already piqued our interest in the taste, which is quite surprising. Because the wine is made from Colombard and Ugni Blanc, the palate complements the pleasant sweetness with a delightfully refreshing undertone. Hints of ripe yellow fruit like mango, peach, and apricot also complete the palate. The finish is wonderfully mild and pleasant with a subtle sweetness.
