Tasting notes
Crafted from a single parcel facing south and west and composed of clay and silex with a limestone bedrock, the 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos du Breuil is showing well today. Revealing aromas of flowers, lemon, grapefruit and spices, it's medium- to full-bodied, pure and seamless, with a crystalline, tensile mid-palate and a fleshy, gourmand core of fruit, finishing long and ethereal. This is a perfumed and refined wine.

The 2022 Montlouis Clos du Breuil is a sophisticated dry Chenin Blanc—pure yet precise, with the influence of flint playing its part. Ripe pear, peach and floral flavors make this an attractive style. Eleven months on lees contributed to an appealing texture, followed up with well-handled phenolics—a feat, considering the skins were so thick and there was so little juice in the berries due to drought.
