La Taille Aux Loups

Loire Valley Chenin Blanc from Montlouis-sur-Loire's limestone terroir.

La Taille Aux Loups is situated in Montlouis-sur-Loire, in the heart of the Middle Loire Valley. The winery focuses on Chenin Blanc, the region's signature white variety, which thrives in the cool continental climate and limestone-rich soils of Touraine. Chenin Blanc from this terroir expresses the grape's natural tension between ripeness and acidity, with the capacity to age gracefully across dry, off-dry, and sweet expressions. The winery's portfolio includes Romulus, a Chenin Blanc that has garnered recognition from Wine Spectator, Wine Advocate, Decanter, Wine Enthusiast, and Falstaff. Demi-Sec and Clos de Mosny, both Chenin Blanc offerings, have also received critical attention from the same panel of prestige publications. These wines reflect the distinctive character of Montlouis-sur-Loire, where the Loire's influence and microclimate create conditions for producing Chenin Blanc of complexity and minerality.
