Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, established by the late Jacky Blot and now managed by his son Jean-Philippe, is renowned for producing exceptional Chenin Blanc wines that showcase the unique terroirs of the Loire Valley.
- WINEMAKER: Jean-Philippe Blot
- FARMING: Practicing Organic
- VARIETY: 100% Chenin Blanc
- TERROIR: Sourced from a 1-hectare monopole vineyard in Noizay, Vouvray, featuring silex and pure limestone soils on the premiere côte. The vines are over 50 years old and benefit from a south-facing exposure.
- VINIFICATION: Fermented with indigenous yeasts in barrels (20% new, 80% 1-4 year old barrels); malolactic fermentation is avoided to preserve acidity.
- AGING: Aged in barrel to enhance complexity and texture.
- TASTING NOTES: Lovely freshness and texture with fine citrus fruit and a bit of generosity to the apple and lemon core, complemented by lovely acidity.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Pairs well with seafood dishes, poultry, and creamy cheeses.
