Domaine de la Taille aux Loups
Montlouis-sur-Loire Rémus 2015
About this Item
Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is the estate of Jacky Blot, a former wine broker who from 1989 built a holding of old-vine parcels at Montlouis-sur-Loire, across the river from Vouvray, and became one of the Loire's most exacting growers of dry Chenin Blanc. Rémus is his old-vine dry Montlouis Chenin, all tension and stony precision. James Molesworth from Wine Spectator gave it a rating of 91, and Jancis Robinson gave it 16.5++ out of 20.
Provenance
The late David Brice was a respected wine connoisseur, collector and co-founder of Brice and Burnett – The Fine Wine Specialists (formerly Wine Cellar). His lifelong passion for wine from all corners of the world wine, and generosity, helped develop a culture of fine wine in South Africa and beyond. Always with value and authenticity in mind, the collection spans a wide range of styles from leading producers and diverse regions. The wines were professionally imported under refrigeration and carefully stored at Brice and Burnett (formerly Wine Cellar) thereafter. Many of the producers are not available in South Africa and provide an excellent buying opportunity.
For more detailed information on the lots, please feel free to contact Roland Peens (roland@briceandburnett.co.za). Roland spent many years sharing and enjoying these wines with David Brice and is happy to provide further insight into the collection.
Critics Ratings
"Enticing, with a mix of ginger, yellow apple, quince and honeysuckle notes enmeshed with a light almond hint. The long finish shows sweetness, but stays racy and fresh." - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Jun 2017)
"Neat, fresh nose with some real tension. Lots of acidity but also the purity (and chew) of green apples.…" - Jancis Robinson, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5++/20 (May 2021)
