2020 Domaine Mosse Nova

WINEMAKER: Agnès, René, Sylvestre & Joseph Mosse
REGION: Loire Valley, FR
VARIETAL: Chenin Blanc
VITICULTURE: Certified Organic/Biodynamic

This wine made from Chenin Blanc from one of the best plots that the Mosse family own, namely Les Bonnes Blanches, is a truly intriguing wine and one of the best we have tried this year. This is a knockout!

The clever Mosse winemakers, namely Joseph and Sylvestre, have really pushed the boat out here and gently macerated the grapes for 218 days! The result is a level of complexity combined with a harmony that is truly breathtaking. The aroma is full of promise and the flavour lingers and amplifies and then becomes a vivid memory that makes you smile with secret delight. We only have a tiny amount of this treasure so it will not be possible to distribute it to more than a few lucky people, but we will try to see if they will release some more for us.

Founded in 1999, Domaine Mosse has gathered a serious cult following. Started by Agnès and René, now run by their sons Sylvestre and Joseph, the family tend to their 17 hectares of pristine vineyards in Saint-Lambert-du-Lattay according to organic and biodynamic principles. We're always grateful to receive small quantities of these highly sought-after wines.
