Les Vins d'Emmanuelle : Mon Loup 2024

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for Mon Loup 2024 from Les Vins d'Emmanuelle

Tasting

Colour

This cuvée presents a clear, brilliant colour.

Nose

The nose combines white fruits and citrus with delicate floral notes, enhanced by touches of fresh hay.

Palate

On the palate, the cuvée stands out for its tension and finely chiselled acidity. A pleasing roundness envelops flavours of yellow fruits and citrus. The long, saline finish extends into a lingering minerality.

Food and Wine Pairing

Mon Loup is a delight as an aperitif, served with gougères or fish rillettes. At the table, it pairs beautifully with seafood such as langoustines or scallops, as well as poached or grilled white fish. It also matches well with roast poultry with herbs, a lightly spiced dish such as a tagine, or a local goat's cheese such as crottin de Chavignol.

A rich and delicate white wine from the Loire
