Taste: There's flinty, smoky, salty reduction going on here, but it's well-judged and lends an extra layer of complexity, as well as providing additional tension. Excellent precision defines the mid-palate.

Taste: "The 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos de Mosny Monopole is a clay-flint-based parcel, and you can see that in its focus and line. There's flinty, smoky, salty reduction going on here, but it's well-judged and lends an extra layer of complexity, as well as providing additional tension. Excellent precision defines the mid-palate, but there's still a generosity and softness that lends charm with structure. Long and classy, it’s amazing that such a warm vintage can provide such togetherness and balance." - Vintous (RG)

About the Wine: Clos de Mosny is a Monopole, meaning that Taille aux Loups is the sole owner of this site. It is 100% Chenin Blanc from vines that are 40 to 50 years of age planted over sandy-clay soil with lots of silex (flint) in the soil. It is about 2-3 meters before hitting the limestone. All fermentation is with native yeasts, is done in barrel (20% new, the rest between 1 and 4 years) and there in no malolactic fermentation.
.
About the Producer: Jacky Blot discovered wine as a junior pâtissier while working at a restaurant in Paris in his younger days. Deciding to follow the winemaking track in life, he ultimately came to acquire the Domaine la Taille aux Loups in Montlouis sur Loire, some twenty years ago, and then added the Domaine de la Butte in Bourgueil to his portfolio. The two estates both reside along the Loire and perhaps do not have the same notoriety as Vouvray and Chinon. But what Jacky does is extremely special and his wines rival the quality levels of many of the region's more famous top producers.
