Clos de Venise, 2017

One of the great Vouvray vineyards vinified in the Taille Aux Loups cellars in Montlouis (and therefore, by dint of French AOC red tape, unable to bear the name Vouvray). A top quality 1 hectare south facing vineyard on Vouvray's renowned 'Premiere Cote'. The vines here sit in limestone with a sprinkling of clay and flint on the surface and the resulting wines are some of the appellations finest. A seamless, concentrated but lively Chenin that tastes of flint soils and elegant, salty, moreish citrus fruit. Very impressive.
