La Taille aux Loups Vin de France Bretonniere 2017

La Taille aux Loups Clos de la Bretonniere Vin de France is a pure Chenin Blanc sourced from a unique 4 hectare vineyard grown on Vouvray's renowned 'Premiere Cote', where the appellations finest wines come from. Owing to a dispute with the INAO, as of the 2014 vintage these wines can no longer carry the name Vouvray as they are vinified in Montlouis at Jacky's domaine. Though the label calls them Vin de France, the wine in the bottle is of course all Vouvray. This smells wonderful straight out of the blocks, honey and crushed rocks, grapefruit and peach. On the palate, great focused intensity, electric acidity and honeyed lime juice and limestone. Palpable extract and a long finish. Very bright and pure. This is ultra-vivid Vouvray, from a cool vineyard, that should go on for another decade.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
