2024 Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups (Jacky Blot), Montlouis-Sur-Loire, Clos de Mosny

The 2024 Clos Mosny from Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is defined by the rigorous stewardship established by the late Jacky Blot and continued by his son, Jean-Philippe. Sourced from a monopole of old Chenin Blanc vines rooted in clay-sand and flint over limestone, this site consistently produces wines of exceptional geological transparency. In the challenging, cool, and rainy 2024 growing season, the estate’s commitment to organic farming and low yields proved vital, allowing the grapes to reach the necessary maturity to balance the vintage’s naturally nervy acidity. The wine undergoes a slow, ambient-yeast fermentation in seasoned barrels without malolactic conversion, a technical choice that emphasizes architectural precision and structural tension over varietal exuberance. The resulting profile is focused and linear, defined by a fine-grained, saline-driven texture that reflects the specific mineral influence of the Clos Mosny site.
