Tasting note

Tasting note

Pale lemon yellow with silvery nuances, the glass reveals aromas of white peach, pear, acacia flowers, and honey, layered with mineral notes reminiscent of flint and a subtle smokiness. When you put it in your mouth, the taut acidity outlines the wine, and the dense, transparent fruitiness that is unique to Chenin Blanc spreads. With a smooth texture derived from lees aging and a long, salty finish, this is a gourmet wine that combines elegance and power.

Food pairing

Scallop carpaccio, asparagus and parmesan risotto, Thin tart with caramelized onions and fresh chevre

Winemaking & technical data

Cultivation
Age: 30-50 years
Soil: limestone bedrock spreads over a clay layer,
On top of that is clayey sand containing a lot of flint (silex).
The 12-hectare plot is surrounded by centuries-old stone walls and features a beautiful south-facing slope that descends to the River Cher.
Cultivation method: The field is plowed. Short-shoot pruning (6-8 buds per tree, maximum 4 short shoots).
Organically grown (not certified).

Vinification
Harvested by hand and sorted on a sorting table.
The grapes from the oldest vines in the centre of the clos (enclosed vineyard) are used during the second harvest.
The harvested grapes are transported in flat boxes.
In addition, some grapes harvested 10 to 12 days earlier are also used to brew the Montlouis-sur-Loire Les d'Isalpins cuvée.
Yield: Approximately 25 hectoliters per hectare
Vinification: Pressed with a pneumatic press. 30 hours of rest and débourbage.
The wine is transferred by gravity into barrels and undergoes a very slow fermentation period of over six months, without the addition of cultured yeast or chaptalization.

Aging
Barrel composition: 1/4 new barrels, 1/4 1-year-old barrels, 1/4 2-year-old barrels, 1/4 3-year-old barrels.
Aged for one year on the lees, then bottled in the autumn of the following year.

About this bottle

This wine is made from 100% Chenin Blanc vines over 30 years old. The terroir, which includes flint on a south-facing slope, delicately expresses aromas of white peach, honey, and minerals. The firm acidity, silky texture, and long, salty finish make it a perfect complement to seafood and white meat dishes.

About the producer

Domaine de la Taille aux Loups

Although Domaine de la Taille-aux-Loups is a very young domaine, founded only about 20 years ago, it is one of the most important domaines in Touraine and is considered a leader in the Montlouis-sur-Loire appellation.

The late Jacky Brot (1948-2023) led the Domaine and made a significant contribution to Montlouis-sur-Loire. He was the first to age wines in barrels. After founding the estate in 1989, he expanded into Vouvray, where he perfectly expressed the exceptional terroir. Recent wines have been reclassified as "Vin de France" because they were produced outside the appellation.

The vineyards in Montlouis-sur-Loire and Vouvray are almost entirely allocated to Chenin Blanc, and the vines are managed according to organic farming methods, with minimal use of organic fertilisers and spraying only when absolutely necessary.

The vineyards are cultivated to suppress weeds in the topsoil, encouraging the vines to develop deeper roots. Leaf management is also carried out thoroughly from spring through summer, sometimes removing the leaves completely at the end of summer, leaving only the fruit clusters. This allows for better sunlight and significantly improves ventilation, significantly reducing the risk of rot.

The same attention to detail shown in the vineyard by Jacky Brot, and now Jean-Philippe Brot, is also carried over to the winemaking process in the cellar. Jacky has actively pursued appropriate research into the use of oak, particularly in barrels from different origins, forests and coopers. As a result, almost all of La Taille-aux-Loup's wines are fermented in barriques, demi-muids or large foudres. This philosophy has been passed down to Jean-Philippe.
