"The 2022 Montlouis-sur-Loire Clos Michet is a seductive, charming style with a silken texture initially‡you can't help but be sucked in by it. And yet, it has surprising freshness and line with just 12.5% alcohol, tying it all together as it moves through the palate. Salty and floral notes join pastry and subtle smoky bacon, while oak tones linger on the finish. This is smart, pure and well-made."

"A flavorful and charming white with notes of cooked lemons, yellow plums, flower honey, flint, wet stones, white flowers and a touch of spice. Medium body with a core of ripe lemons and yellow fruit at the center and a svelte texture. Bright acidity gives energy to the mid-palate. Seductive and well-composed. Honeyed, mineral long finish with a zesty kick. Drink now."
