Bright, light gold, very delicate, regular bubbles. |

Fresh, with aromas of vine peach and delicate floral accents, a touch of candy and barley sugar. |

With its ripe expression, this cuvée showcases a supple, textured Chenin Blanc elevated by fine, energetic bubbles. The brut dosage adds a gentle roundness, leading to a finish reminiscent of strawberry confectionery. Refined and full of charm, it’s a sparkling wine that delights with its balance and character. |

The estate and the wine |
|
|
A visionary of Montlouis-sur-Loire and an inspiration to an entire generation, the late Jacky Blot, who sadly passed away in 2023, elevated Domaine de la Taille aux Loups to the forefront of French winemaking. Starting in 1990, he redefined the quality and identity of the region’s wines, setting a new standard for excellence.
With 2 stars in the Guide RVF and a commitment to organic farming, the estate—spanning Montlouis, Vouvray, and Bourgueil—continues to thrive under the expert leadership of Jean-Philippe Blot. Carrying forward his father’s legacy, Jean-Philippe is dedicated to maintaining the estate’s reputation for crafting exceptional wines. |

A captivating sparkling Chenin, the Montlouis-sur-Loire Brut Tradition is a masterclass in precision and balance. The nose offers aromas of vineyard peach layered with delicate floral notes and a hint of barley sugar. Year after year, it impresses with its lively energy, framed by the perfect ripeness of the harvest. This sparkling wine delivers a generous, rounded profile with both volume and charm, finishing with a pure, mouthwatering acidity. A beautifully crafted wine, it pairs wonderfully with quiche Lorraine, Brillat-Savarin, or aged Brie de Meaux. Rated 92/100 by the Committee. |
