Domaine de la Taille aux Loups
Clos Michet
2021
- Montlouis sur Loire, Loire
The nose is precise and energetic, revealing notes of orchard fruits intertwined with delicate mineral undertones typical of Montlouis limestone. On the palate, the wine demonstrates great purity, with a sharp acidity that provides a backbone for the crisp citrus and stone fruit flavors. The mid-palate is supple yet taut, showcasing the elegance of Chenin Blanc without excess weight. It concludes with a long, saline finish that encourages another sip. Ideally enjoyed after an hour of aeration to allow its aromatic layers to fully expand.

Domaine de la Taille aux Loups
The Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, led by the visionary Jacky Blot, is a beacon of excellence in Montlouis-sur-Loire. This single-vineyard cuvée, Clos Michet, is sourced from vines planted on clay and limestone soils, capturing the essence of the Chenin Blanc grape through meticulous organic farming and patient winemaking. The 2021 vintage reflects the cooler, classic character of the Loire Valley, resulting in a wine of remarkable precision. Vinified in older oak barrels, this wine benefits from slow aging on fine lees, allowing it to develop complexity and depth while maintaining the signature tension that defines the terroir of the Clos Michet vineyard.
