Mmm. I wish we had some of those Taille aux Loups wines over here. The CdL Saint-Aubin from Cady is available, though. And very nice, too.
Certainly the Taille aux Loups' wines are worth searching out. Cady's sweet wines are consistently good. I thought the barrel fermented Chenin was too wood dominated – report on wines to follow.
