Jacky Blot Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups Cuvée Clos Michet 2018

From the iconic Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups in Montlouis-sur-Loire, the Cuvée Clos Michet 2018, crafted by Jacky Blot, is a stellar dry Chenin Blanc. Sourced from old vines on clay-limestone soils in a south-facing clos, it’s hand-harvested and fermented in oak barrels. Aged 12 months on lees in barrels, it offers a pale gold hue and refined complexity.

Winemaking Process

Jacky Blot’s meticulous craftsmanship defines this wine. The 2018 vintage, from a second passage of riper grapes, undergoes fermentation in French oak barrels with native yeasts, followed by partial malolactic fermentation. Aged 12 months on lees in barrels and demi-muids, it balances fruit intensity with minerality, creating a full-bodied Chenin with vibrant acidity and long aging potential.

Tasting Notes
