Remus 2025 is a full-bodied dry Montlouis from the Domaine de la Taille aux Loups — "a superb example of balance, with a clean attack, rich on the palate, and a multitude of sensations of freshness, bitterness, and fullness. It’s a great Chenin.”
The color is a brilliant pale gold. The nose is delicate with notes of pear, lime, and quince, pronounced minerality, and a light touch of verbena and ginger. The palate is full-bodied and creamy; a decidedly dry Chenin with tension throughout the tasting and a long, briny finish. Serve at 11–12 °C.
100% organic Chenin Blanc, 50–80-year-old vines, Montlouis clay-limestone soil, yield 20 hl/ha. Slow fermentation with native yeasts in barrels, aged for 1 year.
5★/5 Bettane+Desseauve. Aging potential: 2027–2037.
