Note di degustazione
The 2019 Montlouis sur Loire Clos du Breuil is from a three-hectare vineyard composed of clay and coarse flint elements topping the tuff mother rock. The bouquet is precise, crystalline and deep, pairing lemony, tropical fruit and chalky aromas with flint stone, iodine and red paprika or pimiento notes. The palate is seamless, crystalline, fresh, very elegant and salty-piquant, almost like a limestone Riesling, with ripe pear flavors, fine tannins and a long and dense, if not juicy finish. The acidity is remarkably fine, and the wine indicates great aging potential, even though it is already an excellent Chenin that could be served even as aperitif (despite its 14% alcohol). Vinified in demi-muids for 11 months, then bottled in August 2020. Tasted in March 2021.

A dry yet juicy Chenin, the 2019 Clos du Breuil shows subtle aromatics of florals, bruised apple and pastry. A focused expression that still manages to exude a sense of ease and tenderness. While it has gone through full malo - a spontaneous result - it keeps a line of tension and a hint of tangy salinity on the finish.
