Domaine De La Butte, Bourgueil Mi-Pente 2017
Regular price $50.00 Save $-50.00Variety: Cabernet Franc
Jacky Blot is a restless man in the Loire Valley. He first founded Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in 1989, focusing on site specific Chenin Blanc in the Montlouis appellation near Vouvray. For his second chapter in the Loire winemaking world, Jacky Blot began Domaine de la Butte in 2002. He has been on the fast track to making quality Cabernet Franc from four different vineyards sites in the Bourgueil appellation. Now his son Jean-Phillipe Blot has taken much of the workload, having begun working for his father since he was just sixteen years old. These wines are pure examples of terroir expressed over a glass of Cabernet Franc.
"Mi-Pente" is considered a Grand Cru of Bourgueil. The vines are over 70 years old with naturally lower yields. This wine ages in 20% new oak.

Domaine de la Butte, Bourgueil Le Haut de la Butte 2018
Regular price $43.00 Save $-43.00Variety: Cabernet Franc
Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is a rising star in the French and international wine scene. He produces his wine with true vision and no sacrifice, two attributes rarely seen in the commercial wine world today. While working as a wine broker in the Loire Valley, Blot came into contact with a winemaking family no longer capable of caring for their land. Believing the site needed to be respected and shown to the world, his inner voice urged him out of his office and into the vineyards. From this beginning, in 1989 he has since expanded his lands to include parcels in Vouvray, Montlouis, and Bourgueil. Though just across the river from Vouvray, Montlouis does not have the strong market grip of its neighbor. However, its vineyards and age of vines can produce wines that outshine just about anything.
Coming from the “top of the mound,” this Cabernet Franc hails from Jacky Blot’s other estate winery, Domaine de La Butte in the Bourgueil appellation. The vines are roughly 35 years planted to clay and silex soil over limestone. The wine spends time in a mix of cement and older barrels.
