    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Les Hauts de Husseau, 2015

    A note of gooseberry and then slate and salt. On the palate this has an almost champagne like intensity and focus. Very bright, with a touch of smoke and fine oak, but also real clarity of finely etched flavours. Salt and fine clear fruit, bergamot and steely minerals. This is mouth-watering and delicious Chenin that has years ahead of it. Formerly known as Remus plus, Hauts de Husseau cuvee comes from multiple high old vine parcels of between 60 and 100 years old planted on poor soils with high chalk content. The wine is fermented in primarily old barriques using wild yeasts.

    Jason Wilson, Vinous
    From 70-year-old vines grown at some of the highest altitude sites in Montlouis. Golden yellow in color. Aromas of beeswax, pear, and quine and flavors of lime, melon, apple, and fennel. Puckery on the midpalate with tart ruby red grapefruit and sea salt notes. Finishes long, dry, and chalky. It’s ready now, but give it a year or two and this will continue its gorgeous development.
