Description

This Bourgueil is simply sublime - consistently satisfying in every way. It presents a harmonious blend of leather and liquorice intertwined with tart cherry and rich blackcurrant flavours, all elevated by an exquisite floral essence. It stands out as a distinguished example of its region. The palate is invigorated by a succulent acidity, extending into a lengthy and revitalizing finish. A pure delight to savour.

Domaine de la Butte

The late Jacky Blot purchased Domaine de la Butte in 2002. The domain covers 14 hectares in Bourgueil planted exclusively to Cabernet Franc with vines as old 70 years old. Each section of the slope (the Butte) is vinified separately. The organic certified fruit is hand-picked and foot crushed. After fermentation, the wines are matured in oak. With the passing of Jacky in 2023, his son Jean-Phillippe ably carries on his legacy today.

Loire Valley

The Loire Valley in France is a prestigious wine region renowned for its diverse wines and picturesque landscapes. Stretching along the Loire River, it benefits from a varied climate and a range of soil types, ideal for viticulture. It is particularly famous for its white wines, including the crisp and mineral-rich Sauvignon Blanc from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, and the aromatic Chenin Blanc from Vouvray and Saumur. The area also produces excellent reds, such as the light and fruity Cabernet Franc from Chinon and Bourgueil. Rosé and sparkling wines, like Crémant de Loire, add to the diversity of the region. With its rich winemaking heritage, varied terroirs, and high-quality wines, the Loire Valley offers an exceptional experience for wine enthusiasts seeking both classic and innovative wines.
