Winemaker Notes
The Remus combines remarkable density and richness with focus deriving from the wine’s minerality and fruity acidity. It can be enjoyed young for the accessible fruit– especially if decanted – or aged for many years which will bring out the nuances of a great dry Chenin Blanc.

Wine Spectator
Still youthfully tight, this hints at alluring lime, quince and pear notes that stand behind the racy minerality for now, adding light verbena and ginger details through the finish. Shows an underlying unctuosness but remains racy and dry overall. Best from 2020 through 2030.

A new star has emerged in the heart of the Loire Valley: he is Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, in Montlouis and Vouvray. Montlouis is located on the southern bank of the Loire, opposite Vouvray. Blot, originally a Loire wine broker by profession, acquired about 8 hectares of 50-75 year old vines in 1989. These prized, ancient parcels belonged to families that could no longer continue to cultivate the vines and so entrusted them to Blot and his team. Blot brought a passion and exacting determination to make wines of only the highest quality, well beyond the norm of the day. Now more than 25 years on, Blot is the acknowledged pioneer of the region and is credited with having taken Chenin Blanc to unprecedented heights of quality.
