Montlouis 2016

The 2016 vintage in Montlouis-sur-Loire was severely struck by late April black frosts that destroyed up to 70% of the crop. However, the spared bunches enjoyed an idyllic summer, developing breathtaking concentration. The wine reveals a shimmering pale gold hue and a pure aromatic profile of lime zest, juicy pear, jasmine, and warm crushed stones. The palate delivers remarkable density guided by electric mineral tension. Rated 4.6 out of 5 and classified Divine, this rare and precious vintage is built for prolonged cellaring. Superb with roasted pike-perch or farm poultry.
