Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Crisp apple, blossom honey, and a subtle note of grapefruit zest on the nose.Juicy and penetrating on the palate,offering lively orange zest and orchard fruit flavors along with hints of anise and honeysuckle. Very pure and focused.

Wine Spectator
Bright and pure, with pretty verbena, meringue, lime curd, green apple and white peach flavors streaming through, backed by a long echo of quinine on the finish. There's nice latent energy here. Drink now through 2022.

A new star has emerged in the heart of the Loire Valley: he is Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, in Montlouis and Vouvray. Montlouis is located on the southern bank of the Loire, opposite Vouvray. Blot, originally a Loire wine broker by profession, acquired about 8 hectares of 50-75 year old vines in 1989. These prized, ancient parcels belonged to families that could no longer continue to cultivate the vines and so entrusted them to Blot and his team. Blot brought a passion and exacting determination to make wines of only the highest quality, well beyond the norm of the day. Now more than 25 years on, Blot is the acknowledged pioneer of the region and is credited with having taken Chenin Blanc to unprecedented heights of quality.
