Jacky Blot

Jacky Blot runs both Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in Montlouis and Domaine de la Butte in Bourgueil, both in the Loire Valley. There aren’t many winemakers that are as equally talented with both red and white grapes. Jacky Blot is, however, one such producer, producing some of the Loire’s most intense, balanced and delicious wines. Following a career in patisserie, he became a wine broker before taking on Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in the early 90s, where he now makes sought after white wines from Chenin Blanc. He added Domaine de La Butte in 2002, where he has made a name for benchmark Cabernet Franc from Bourgeuil.
