2019 Montlouis-Sur-Loire Clos Mosny, Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Jacky Blot

2019 Montlouis-Sur-Loire Clos Mosny, Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Jacky Blot

Clos Mosny is a monopole vineyard, and 2019 is a brilliant year for this wine. The nose is a little more restrained than the Hauts de Husseau, with white flowers, apricots, and a gently leesy, cream note. The palate is bright and zappy, with a fresh lemon zing, and just a hint of new oak. This opens up well in the glass and should age fantastically.

2024 Bourgueil Pied de la Butte, Domaine de la Butte, Jacky Blot Dry | Red | Still | 13.5%

This is juicy, lightly peppery, bright and elegantly smooth Cabernet Franc which is wonderful in its youth. The fruit comes from the bottom part of the slope, hence 'Pied' - foot. This is in contrast to the mid-slope fruit goes into the age-worthy, denser 'Mi-Pente' cuvée. Some vines at the bottom are as old as 80 years, so although the wine is juicy, upfront, and invitingly drinkable, the finish is sustained and persistent with old vine intensity taking this above a simple easy-drinking wine. It’s got a wonderful sour cherry note, with lightly smoky notes.

2023 Clos de Venise, Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Jacky Blot Dry | White | Still

Like La Bretonnière, this vineyard is also within Vouvray, but cannot use the AOC name since it is vinified in Montlouis. It comes from a south-facing slope, and Jacky and Jean-Philippe are careful to get the picking date right here. Too early and it loses its drama, too late and it feels overweight. It's as dramatic and exciting as it comes: pithy, zesty and fantastically long.

Ready: 2026 - 2036
2023 Montlouis-Sur-Loire Clos Mosny, Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Jacky Blot Dry | White | Still

Clos Mosny is a walled 12 hectare vineyard which consistently produces one of our favourite wines from Jacky. It is so beautifully aromatic, with an energetic drive on the palate. The fruit is almost flamboyant in its expression, yet the saline tension of the acidity keeps everything tightly in balance, making this a serious and age-worthy expression of Chenin Blanc. Just a hint of new oak adds a creaminess to the texture. Very long on the finish, with crunchy apple and blossom enveloping the palate.

Ready: 2026 - 2036
