🍇🥂❗️Do you enjoy tasting chenin blanc from the Loire Valley❓ This 2018 Clos de Mosny from Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is utterly delightful. . Perfumed nose of citrus, white stone fruits, wet rocks and floral scents, dense and grippy mouthfeel with ample volume, luscious texture and excellent concentration, succulent flavours of apricot, white peach, pear and hints of nutmeg liberally laced with faint mineral undertones, well integrated acidity and saline notes carrying through a long, precise finish. This is a delightful wine with impeccable balance, remarkable focus and understated complexity. I particularly love its mouthwatering tension, racy freshness and appealing purity. It’s beautiful to drink now and will further improve with a few more years 😊🥂 . Clos de Mosny is a 12ha south-facing monopole vineyard enclosed within 1.6km of walls, planted with 50 year-old chenin vines on sandy clay and flint soil over clay and limestone subsoil. Aged in oak barrels, 1/3 new, for 12 months. . Just across the River Loire from Vouvray, Montlouis, an appellation sandwiched between the River Cher and the Loire itself, has been taken out of the shadows of its more famous neighbour thanks to the relentless efforts of inspirational leaders like Jacky Blot. . Former wine broker Jacky Blot bought Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in 1989 in Montlouis. He made painstaking efforts to breathe new life into the appellation, though not without ruffling a few feathers in the local community with his approach to viticulture and winemaking. Organic viticulture, ploughing rather than using herbicides, no use of fertilisers and barrel fermentation were considered back then to be quite shocking, to say the least. Jacky eschews malolactic fermentation and elevage is carried out in wood barrels in order to get more complex flavours. Today, the domaine covers 25ha in Montlouis. . . . #loirevalleywines #montlouissurloire #latailleauxloups #jackyblot #cheninblanc #organicwines #winelover #winetime #wineoclock #winetasting #tastingnotes #winelife #wine #vin #vino #wino #wineporn #winestagram #wineenthusiast #wineblogger #somm #sommelier #instawine #frenchwine #hkwinelovers #winebeast
