Note di degustazione
From 30- to 90-year-old vines on clay-silex soils and vinified in 600-liter demi-muids for 11 months, the 2018 Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Tuffeaux opens with an intense yet delicate bouquet of perfectly ripe and healthy fruits, chalk and some flinty notes along with white honey and nougat scents. Round, intense and concentrated on the palate, with Toblerone and white nougat aromas, this is a very elegant, refined and balanced Chenin with lingering finesse, salinity and fine tannin structure. It's pretty intense yet always balanced and juicy. Tasted in March 2021.

The 2018 Montlouis Les Tuffeaux is explosive in the glass. Soaring citrus, floral pear and slate-infused aromatics lead into a rich, creamy palate that fills out beautifully. The 2018 is generous and so inviting, and yet remains airy, with beams of salinity that frame the subtle, nuanced finish. A wine of understatement and class, the 2018 is just gorgeous today. The balance of sweetness, acid and structure is compelling, with the sugar present and yet so well-integrated, in the wine’s magical balance.
