One of two chenins from Jacky Blot’s Loire domaine to wow our buyers in their 2021 Wine Champions tastings, this dry and delicious white is full of character and charm. A fresh, appley, rounded but beautifully balanced wine that we recommend highly.

Loire Vintage 2019

Yet another exceptional vintage! Perhaps these atypical years are the vintages of the future? 2019 was another year of extremes and nail biting, with temperatures even in the Loire Atlantique nudging 40C more than once last summer. With so little rain, there were concerns over whether the fruit would actually ripen, but sure enough, some rain did arrive: a little in mid-August, a little more in early to mid-September, depending on the location, refreshing the vines and allowing them to ripen their healthy fruit in fine conditions.

There will be some great reds, with the chance to keep some in store for the future. Whites are ripe and healthy, with, remarkably, a little more freshness than the 2018s, so it will be a great year to explore the length of the Loire.

[The Loire Valley] is [chenin blanc's] traditional home, and especially in a cluster of appellations along the 100-mile section of the Loire between Blois and Savenni�res. Montlouis-sur-Loire is one such place, and it�s here that one of the world�s finest chenin exponents, Jacky Blot, plies his trade. Blot�s R�mus blends grapes for a dry wine with a twanging steeliness.
