Tasting Notes
Medium-bodied with crisp acidity and fine bubbles, there are aromas of lemon rind and white peach fruit, followed by more subtle notes of ginger, hay and white flowers. The wine finishes with a persistent wooly minerality and subtle spice.

GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Chenin Blanc
100% Shuh-NAN BLON
Chenin Blanc is often overlooked, but makes some of the most compelling white wines across Palate Character, including bone dry to sweet in style. Some of the best expressions come from France’s Loire Valley, and South Africa, which at their best are concentrated, crisp, sometimes long-lived, mineral driven wines that deserve more recognition for their high quality age-worthy whites.

Domaine de la Taille aux Loups

Montlouis-sur-Loire

Jacky Blot was on a mission. He bought eight hectares of more than 50-year-old vine chenin blanc in the late-1980s and transformed Domaine de la Taille aux Loups into a certified organic property in 1988.

Portrait of Jacky BlotPortrait of Jacky Blot

Jacky Blot does things differently, following a more Burgundian technique. He hand-harvests grapes and, like famous producers Roulot and Coche-Dury, he exposes the must to oxygen before undergoing barrel fermentation and then storing the wines in steel tanks before bottling 

Jacky Blot’s chenin blanc is bone-dry, with crisp acidity that is defined by a complex minerality rather than overt fruitiness.
