Vouvray tries de grains nobles is produced only 6 times ('11, '09, '05, '97, '96 and '95) and only in the very best years for botrytis.
Very fresh with remarkable acidity and residual sugar ranging from 110 g/l to 160 g/l.
This stunning sweet wine is harvested grape by grape from a tiny one hectare parcel of vines that is full south facing just above the village on the valley opposite Clos du Bourg.
Average yield for these 6 vintages of around 1 hl/ha (average of 15 hl/ha at Chateau dÝquem). This is a remarkable labour of love of grapes selected mostly by Caroline Pichot.
