100% Chenin, this is a wine with Zero sugar used or added during the fermentation process, Zero Chaptalisation, Zero liqueur de tirage, and Zero Dosage. Lively and complex, the sharp precision of the Chenin awakens your palate followed by a complex palette of flavours from apple, pear, honey, and almond meal, and salivating savouriness ending the palate. it is gentle, round, and soft, with extremely fine bubbles and a lively energy.
Jacky Blot was a pioneer in this Part of the Loire Valley and played a major role in elevating the Vouvray appellation and Touraine region to what it is known today. His wines are regarded as some of the best in the world and surely to try once in its life. Purity, complexity elegance, and approachability are only a few superlatives we could use to describe his work.
17/20 Jancis Robinson, October 2024
"Pale gold. Glorious Chenin on the nose. Toasty and tangy and dry on the end with more than a hint of Jurançon about it, oddly. But so much more interesting than common-or-garden champagne."
93/100 James Suckling, December 2023
"Comforting nose of apples, baked lemons, quince zest and some brioche, too. Medium body with fine bubbles and crisp acidity. Lively and agile with a mineral frame. Bone dry and bright at the center with weight. Flavorful and succulent finish. Drink or hold."
