Product Overview
Jacky et J.P. Blot La Taille aux Loups Montlouis-sur-Loire Brut Tradition opens with aromas of ripe pear, green apple, and quince framed by delicate notes of toasted brioche and chalky minerality. On the palate, the wine is taut yet generous, combining vibrant citrus and orchard fruit with fine, persistent bubbles and a creamy texture from extended lees contact. The Chenin Blanc fruit drives a lively tension that balances richness with precision, finishing dry, saline, and refreshingly pure. A refined, terroir-driven sparkling that rivals fine Champagne in complexity while remaining distinctly Loire.

"The NV Brut Tradition is a light-bodied but well-concentrated sparkling Chenin Blanc. It's a firm, well-balanced style with just 4g/l of residual sugar, lending a serious, vinous character to the wine. Sweet, ripe fruit reminiscent of apple and pear combine with autolysis-derived pastry characters (3 years on lees). The bubbles are very well integrated." 7/16/2024
