Montlouis-sur-Loire Le Grand Clos 2022 Le Rocher des Violettes

Montlouis sur Loire - Le Grand Clos 2022

樹齢90年の古木が湛える、静けさ。

樹齢90年を超える古木から生まれるシュナン・ブラン。黄金色の輝きを帯びた外観に、熟した洋梨や白桃、アカシアの花、蜂蜜が調和し、時間とともにアーモンドやブリオッシュのニュアンスが現れます。厚みのある果実味と生き生きとした酸、粘土石灰質土壌のミネラル感が骨格を形づくり、長い余韻に塩味を帯びた旨みが重なります。ブレス鶏のクリーム煮や熟成コンテとともに。

Tasting note

Its appearance is tinged with a golden glow. The aroma that rises from the glass is a harmonious blend of ripe pear, white peach, acacia flowers, honey, and a subtle minerality, with nuances of almond and brioche emerging over time. On the palate, the rich fruitiness and lively acidity are perfectly balanced, and the minerality derived from the clay-limestone soil forms the structure. The long finish combines salty umami with the mellowness of aging, creating a taste that combines complexity and elegance. It is appealing to drink now, but with aging it has the potential to develop even more depth, like honey or truffle.
