La Taille aux Loups Les Hauts de Husseau Montlouis sur Loire sec 2024

Les Hauts de Husseau is a dry Chenin Blanc from one of Montlouis-sur-Loire’s highest, coolest vineyard sites, made by the acclaimed Domaine de la Taille aux Loups. From vines more than 70 years old, it reflects the Loire’s long tradition of shaping Chenin into wines that range from finely structured and dry to richly sweet.

Tasting Notes
The 2024 is expected to show Chenin Blanc’s characteristic balance of freshness and depth, with a bright, pale appearance and aromas that may include orchard fruit, citrus and subtle mineral notes. On the palate, look for lively acidity and a dry, focused finish, with the limestone-rich site lending a firm sense of structure. Its freshness and concentration should allow it to develop further in bottle, though the exact aging potential will depend on the vintage and storage conditions.

Production
The vineyard lies at the highest elevation in the Montlouis-sur-Loire appellation, where cooler conditions help preserve acidity. Its soils have a thin layer of sandy clay and flint over a deep limestone base, and the vines are more than 70 years old. The estate farms its vineyards organically and applies rigorous selection to the fruit; specific details of the 2024 harvest and vinification are not available.

Food & Serving
Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C, with roast poultry, grilled river fish, shellfish or goat’s cheese. Its acidity also makes it a good match for creamy dishes and preparations with a touch of citrus. Decanting is not essential, but a short period in the glass—or a brief decant for a more developed bottle—can help the wine open up.

Producer
Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is closely associated with Jacky Blot, whose work helped establish Montlouis-sur-Loire as a source of benchmark Chenin Blanc. The estate is known for its focus on old vines and carefully tended vineyards, and its wines have earned a strong reputation among Loire enthusiasts.
