Jacky Blot La Taille aux Loups Montlouis Petillant Naturel Triple Zero
Vineyards
The vineyard is run biodynamically. The soil is composed of clays and coarse elements of flint. The subsoil is made up of Tuffeau, a soft, white limestone rock through which the roots create a passage.
Winemaking and Maturation
The TRIPLE ZERO begins with fully ripe Chenin Blanc grapes from low-yielding, 50+-year-old vines in the Montlouis appellation.
- No chaptalization.
- No liqueur de tirage.
- No dosage.
Blot bottles the wine after roughly 3 months, when 14 grams per litre of sugar remain. Just as the Triple Zero is made using the traditional method of two fermentations in a bottle, it is also clarified and finished in the traditional way before the final corking.
The result is an unfiltered, naturally made sparkling wine with unsurpassed elegance, purity and expression of fresh, soft citrus and pear flavours.
Tasting Notes
“Comforting nose of apples, baked lemons, quince zest and some brioche, too. Medium body with fine bubbles and crisp acidity. Lively and agile with a mineral frame. Bone dry and bright at the center with weight. Flavorful and succulent finish. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling
