Awesome Value
An ever-so-subtle smell of flavor of red currant and sun-dried cherry clings to grapefruit, lime and crushed rock in this perky, super-refreshing “Pet-Nat” (single fermentation wine that finishes in bottle). A delicious, very dry sparkler that balances, just so, its fruit, high acidity and lees-aged character. A delicious, unique wine that is a steal for under $30!
All Gamay. called Triple Zero because it is Zero Chaptalization, Zero Liqueur at bottling, Zero dosage. Ferment and aged 2 years on its lees in neutral barrel before bottling to finish fermentation.
Taille Aux Loups is the property of Mountlouis producer Jacky Blot (and son Jean-Philippe. Jacky bought old vineyards in Montlouis, mid Loire Valley, in the 1980s. Their wines are outstanding, and personally speaking, some of my favorite wines to drink in the world.
