Domaine du Saut au Loup: Tasting & Drinking
Take a look at old texts which relate to Chinon during the latter half of the 20th century and it is clear the reverence with which the wines of the Clos du Saut au Loup, and of Domaine Dozon in particular, were regarded. It was this renown, as well as the huge list of private customers the Dozon family had built up during their time here (and who Eric did not wish to alienate), which prompted Eric to make the move from using Domaine Dozon to using his own name (which now appears on some labels), and that of the Domaine du Clos du Saut au Loup instead, a gradual one.
Despite this, beyond the borders of the appellation, and the private client list, I don’t think the Clos du Saut au Loup and its wines are particularly well known. This is something Eric Santier will no doubt wish to put right, in time.
