Montlouis 2015

The 2015 vintage in Montlouis-sur-Loire will be remembered as a symphony of generous sunshine and velvety mouthfeel. Benefiting from a warm, dry summer, the Chenin ripened to perfection, expressing opulent fruit while retaining the mineral imprint of tuffeau bedrock. The wine exhibits a rich golden color and an expansive nose of ripe pineapple, dried apricot, acacia honey, and candied orange peel. On the palate, the texture is broad and caressing, underpinned by ripe acidity that drives a sustained, noble finish. Rated 4.4 out of 5 and deemed Divine, it pairs sumptuously with poultry in cream sauce or monkfish curry.
