Why shop with us?
La Taille aux Loups Venise Sec is a characterful dry Chenin Blanc from the Loire, combining ripe-fruit depth with the grape’s naturally bright, graceful freshness. The supplied tasting note is for the 2019 vintage, so the details below describe the wine’s reported style rather than a confirmed tasting of the 2022.
Tasting Notes
The 2019 note describes an expressive, layered aroma of chestnut honey, chamomile and dried fruit, with a hint of mango lassi and warming ginger-and-anise spice. On the palate, the wine is bone-dry, with lively acidity and a pleasingly tactile grip that gives the ripe fruit definition without obscuring Chenin Blanc’s finesse.
That note also suggests the wine has the structure to develop beautifully, while remaining engaging over several days once opened. Exact appearance and the 2022 vintage’s tasting profile are not specified.
Production
The available vintage note attributes the wine’s balance to slow maturation and the avoidance of malolactic fermentation. Specific vineyard sites, soil details, harvesting methods and the 2022 vinification choices have not been provided.
Food & Serving
Try it with roast chicken, white fish, shellfish or mildly spiced dishes that complement its fruit and ginger-like notes. Serve lightly chilled, around 10–12°C. A short spell in a decanter may help a young bottle open up; taste first, as the note suggests the wine can continue to evolve in the glass and over several days.
Producer
Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is a Loire producer particularly associated with Chenin Blanc and the Montlouis-sur-Loire area. The estate has helped draw attention to the variety’s range, from fresh, dry wines to bottles suited to extended ageing. Further details about this cuvée’s vineyard origins and specific distinctions have not been provided.
