About the wine:
The 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Les Hauts de Husseau comes from a vineyard where the vines are between 80 and 110 years old. It is a delicately fragrant and silky wine that offers a sensation of softness and ease in the mid-palate before developing structure on the finish. The limestone-rich soil lends it a subtle layer of texture and structure, giving it persistence and definition. The finish is long, smooth, and concentrated, with notes of pastry, ripe apple, and chalky citrus.
