Montlouis Sur Loire Equilibriste Sweet 2018

Montlouis Sur Loire Equilibriste Sweet 2018, biodynamic, dessert wine, 80 grams residual sugar.  When you love Chenin, you want to taste in its finest and richest expression and in the sweet version, that is what you get.  L’Equilibriste is from 80 year old vines of Chenin on special complex soil and is made only in the best years when the conditions are right to make a late harvest wine.  It has a balance of sweetness and acidity which is simply mind blowingly delicious.  This is sweet wine with all the complexity and texture which you could possibly imagine and with 7 years of maturation in bottle, it is absolutely singing.

Coralie and Damien Delecheneau took over the family estate in 2002 and run everything organically with the upmost respect for nature and for the traditional techniques of the region.

Harvesting everything by hand, the grapes are gently pressed in a pneumatic press before being transferred by gravity to cold settle in inert vats in the winery below. They grow Chenin Blanc, Cot/Malbec, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc and Grolleau, which allows them to produce a varied winelist, all of which are elegant and balanced, with a true sense of place, thanks to their meticulous ethic.
