Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, under the meticulous direction of Jean-Philippe Blot, stands as a beacon of quality in the Loire Valley. The Clos de Mosny, a monopole vineyard within the Vouvray appellation, is particularly esteemed for its deep tuffeau limestone soils, which impart a distinctive minerality and vibrant acidity to its Chenin Blanc. The 2022 vintage expresses the inherent purity and structural integrity of this site. Fermented and aged in older oak barrels, the wine undergoes extended lees contact, contributing to its textural complexity and profound depth. This is a dry Vouvray crafted for both immediate enjoyment and significant cellar evolution.
Tasting notes
The 2022 Clos de Mosny presents a luminous pale gold hue. The bouquet is intricate, revealing notes of crisp green apple, quince, and wet stone, underscored by subtle hints of white flower and a delicate oxidative nuance from its barrel ageing. On the palate, it is remarkably precise and energetic, with a taut acidity that frames a core of concentrated fruit and profound minerality. The texture is refined, leading to a long, saline finish that promises considerable development with bottle age. A quintessential expression of dry Vouvray Chenin Blanc.
