"Michet is another walled vineyard, next to Clos de Mosny. It's Blot's highest vineyard, south facing, on limestone with lightly sandy soils above the limestone. Vines are 40 to 60 years old."

"Jacky's wines, including his not-anymore Vouvray, are the perfect example: They're bone-dry, less fruity than complex and austere. He believes sugar blurs chenin's ability to transparently reveal its best qualities, which is why his winemaking is almost fanatically Burgundian, although he prefers to describe it as "the school of Montlouis." He ferments all his whites in barrels. And rather than a cold, quick fermentation meant to highlight aromas, he borrows from Burgundy's elite cadre, winemakers like Jean-François Coche (of Coche-Dury) and Jean-Marc Roulot (of Domaine Roulot): he exposes the grape must to oxygen before a long, slow fermentation and leaves the finished wine in steel tanks for months before bottling, which firms up the texture."

Domaine de La Taille Aux Loups is situated not far from Vouvray. Their 45 hectares of vineyards are planted exclusively with Chenin Blanc. Jacky Blot purchased the Domaine in 1989. He was regarded as one of France's most revered and talented winemakers, a true pioneer of Loire Chenin Blanc. With the passing of Jacky in 2023, Jean Phillippe carries on his legacy.

"The 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos Michet is a seductive, charming style with a silken texture initially—you can't help but be sucked in by it. And yet, it has surprising freshness and line with just 12.5% alcohol, tying it all together as it moves through the palate. Salty and floral notes join pastry and subtle smoky bacon, while oak tones linger on the finish. This is smart, pure and well-made."

"Rich and full, with ripe apple and baking spice notes flecked with fleur de sel and enrobed with toasty cedar. Spicy candied ginger and saline mineral streaks give this savory energy. With beautiful lightness to the finish, this is complex but not at all heavy. Drink now through 2029. "
