Domaine de la Butte [Jacky Blot]
Loire, France
*Organic Wine
Loire Master Jacky Blot acquired the 14 hectares of Domaine de la Butte in 2002. He seized the opportunity to make equally great reds by acquiring a perfect parcel of Cabernet Franc with vines of an average age of 30 years. He made an enormous impact by adopting a Burgundian approach in the vineyard, each cuvée being fermented separately according to its position on the slope. These are sensational small production red wines and are some of the most sensual Cabernet Francs in the world.
