Montlouis Sur Loire Clos de Mosny Monopole

Gorgeous. Smoke and flinty minerality on the nose, layered with sunflower seed oil, sesame, and a beautifully integrated oxidative edge. Quince and honey emerge underneath, giving richness without heaviness. Quite grippy and astringent on the palate - serious texture and tension here. Young and tightly wound, clearly built for a long life, but already strikingly beautiful. The kind of Chenin that makes you understand what all the fuss is about.
