Francois Chidaine - Montlouis Sur Loire 'Clos Habert' - 2019

From a soil composed of clay and coarse flint elements covering the subsoil made up of tuff, the 2019 Montlouis sur Loire Clos Habert opens with a very fine and delicate bouquet of finely concentrated yellow-fleshed fruit aromas along with herbal and flinty notes. Round and intense, with perfectly ripe fruit, fine tannins and delicate acidity, this is a sustainably intense and salty Chenin that is far too young to be served today but will age for some decades. Tasted in March 2021. 93+ Points - Stephan Reinhardt, The Wine Advocate
