The future of Loire Valley Chenin Blanc is in laser-pure, dry, terroir-driven wines that challenge the greats of Burgundy and Champagne for precision, length, complexity and ageability. Jacky Blot of Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups and Domaine de la Butte has been leading this movement for decades. Jacky’s journey first started in 1988 when he purchased 8 hectares of 50 to 75 year old vines in the top sites of Montlouis-sur-Loire. Since that time, he has been curating the finest old vine vineyards to add to his domaine, with a complete commitment to organic farming. This hard work and passion has led many in the wine world to proclaim his dry and sparkling Chenin Blanc to be the among the most important benchmarks in the Loire Valley.
