Notes of pear and honeysuckle on the nose. On the palate, it has citrus fruits and honey, with a rich texture balanced by beautiful acidity. Similar in elegance to a Meursault or a Grand Cru Bourgogne.

Domaine de la Taille

The late Jacky Blot headed both Domaine de La Taille Aux Loups and Domaine de la Butte in the Loire Valley, France. The former he founded in Montlouis in 1988, just across the river from Vouvray. With his white wines, Jacky pioneered a dry, terroir-driven style resulting in some of the most structured, complex, and long-lived examples of Chenin Blanc in the world. With the passing of Jacky in 2023, his son Jean-Phillippe carries on his legacy today.

Loire Valley

The Loire Valley in France is a prestigious wine region renowned for its diverse wines and picturesque landscapes. Stretching along the Loire River, it benefits from a varied climate and a range of soil types, ideal for viticulture. It is particularly famous for its white wines, including the crisp and mineral-rich Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the aromatic Chenin Blanc from Vouvray and Saumur. The area also produces excellent reds, such as the light and fruity Cabernet Franc from Chinon and Bourgueil. Rosé and sparkling wines, like Crémant de Loire, add to the diversity of the region. With its rich winemaking heritage, varied terroirs, and high-quality wines, the Loire Valley offers an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts seeking both classic and innovative wines.
