"The NV Montlouis-sur-Loire Triple Zšro spends between two and three years on lees, lending a lovely richness to the mid-palate. It was bottled with no dosage, but picking later gave the wine balance and roundness‡no austerity or hardness. The Triple Zšro is gently sparkling (bottles at 3 atmospheres rather than the usual 5-6 for champagne) with great clarity and precision. There,s excellent focus and tenderness here."

"The NV Triple Zero, a sparkling Montlouis, opens with aromas of pear, peach, honey and white flowers. Moderately weighted, round and subtly sweet, it reveals a delicate mousse and a long, mouthwatering finish. Precise and elegant, this is a refined and beautifully crafted bottle." —Yohan Castaing

"There's plenty of aromatic range, with spiced apple, mandarin cream, preserved lemon and earthy tobacco leaf notes. Offers firming acidity, but real balance comes from its pleasing quinine bitterness. Full and rich on the palate, with roasted hazelnut and green almond details set against a well-structured frame through the firm, clean finish. Complex."

More about Domaine de la Taille aux Loups (Jacky Blot)

Few winemakers have come to define an appellation like Jacky Blot has come to define Montlouis-Sur-Loire. He’s an authority on Chenin Blanc, and while his still wines are dynamic, enchanting distillations of this noble grape, it was his "Triple Zero" sparkler that made us swoon upon first sip.

At Domaine des Tailles Aux Loups, the estate he’s owned since the late ‘80s, the focus is on pure and elegant Chenin, without any distractions—the wines are bone dry, and the pétillant wines are fermented and aged in old, neutral barrels. Borrowing from Burgundy, the fermentation is long and slow, deep in the estate’s cold cellars.

The consistent greatness of these wines lies not just in deft winemaking, but also in decades of high-quality of viticulture. The domaine has been organic since the late 80s (way before it was cool), and employs some biodynamic techniques as well. Yields are very low, and the vines are typically quite old.

If you like Chenin Blanc – or even if you're just a fan of killer white wines – these simply have to be tasted; there are very few wines priced like this which can deliver so much.
