Jacky Blot is a master of Chenin Blanc and has been instrumental in taking Montlouis out of Vouvray’s shadow. His practices include organic viticulture, hand harvests, wild yeasts, barrel fermentations, and no malolactic conversions. His wines are a revelation. The whites are flinty and can compete with the best in the world for precision and length.
JS95:A flavorful and charming white with notes of cooked lemons, yellow plums, flower honey, flint, wet stones, white flowers and a touch of spice. Medium body with a core of ripe lemons and yellow fruit at the center and a svelte texture. Bright acidity gives energy to the mid-palate. Seductive and well-composed. Honeyed, mineral long finish with a zesty kick.
