Montlouis Sur Loire Les Hauts de Husseau, Jacky et J.P. Blot 2023

There is an effortless sense of precision to this outstanding Chenin Blanc. The nose is expressive without ever being overt, revealing layers of ripe quince, baked apple and citrus zest alongside delicate notes of acacia honey, chamomile and crushed chalk. The palate is beautifully textured, combining concentrated orchard fruit with vibrant acidity and a fine mineral tension that runs from start to finish. Richness and freshness exist in perfect harmony, while the finish lingers with remarkable purity, leaving echoes of citrus, wet stone and subtle spice.

Jacky Blot was one of the Loire Valley's most influential winemakers, transforming the reputation of Montlouis-sur-Loire through meticulous vineyard work and sensitive winemaking. Les Hauts de Husseau comes from one of the appellation's finest hillside sites, where clay and flint soils produce Chenin Blanc of exceptional depth and longevity. Now continued by the family, the wine remains a benchmark for the appellation, combining intensity, elegance and an unmistakable sense of place.
