Nothing new here. It's just a wonderful wine made by the late Jacky Blot. Multilayered, complex and sexy. Pebbles, pear, salty butter. Complex, but young with huge potential. This is a wine you can spend your life with.
About
Le Clos de Mosny is a single-vineyard cuvée of 12.5 hectares, reduced to old vines of Chenin Blanc from the best geological zone (about 8 hectares). The vineyard is fully owned by Domaine de La Taille Aux Loups, hence the 'monopole' designation. The vines are 40-50 years old. They grow on sand clay soil with lots of silexes on pure limestone (2-3 meters before hitting the limestone). The ageing lasts 1 year on fine lees in barrels (20% new, 80% 1-4-year-old barrels).
