Jacky Blot

Jacky Blot ran both Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in Montlouis and Domaine de la Butte in Bourgueil, in the Loire Valley, until his passing in 2023. There aren’t many winemakers that were as equally talented with both red and white grapes. Jacky Blot was, 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, making sought after white wines from Chenin Blanc. He added Domaine de La Butte in 2002, making a name for benchmark Cabernet Franc from Bourgeuil.
