Domaine de la Taille aux Loups - Montlouis-sur-Loire - Clos de Mosny 2023

Keywords  : Roundness / Deliciousness / Complexity

The wine  : The "Clos de Mosny" vintage is a delicious, complex and intense dry white wine, a true reflection of the clay-limestone terroir of the Montlouis-sur-Loire appellation. Its luminous golden yellow color announces the aromatic richness which awaits for us. Ample and structured, this nectar offers us tasting notes of ripe white fruits (peach, apricot), mirabelle plum, quince, honey, white flowers as well as a tasty exotic hint. A  fine woody aspect can also be felt, giving the whole a buttery and tenderly vanilla material. The lingering and silky finish is absolutely divine. Wonderful pairings to be expected with fish and poultry in sauce or with mature goat cheeses.  Big crush!
