Domaine de la taille aux loups - Jacky Blot - Les Hauts de Husseau 2017
On the banks of the Loire and the Cher on limestone slopes sloping towards the south, the old Chenin vines of Jacky Blot make it possible to develop in Vouvray and Montlouis-sur-Loire sparkling wines, dry, off-dry, and sometimes sweet in a perfect respect of vintages and terroirs.
Jacky Blot attaches importance to respect nature and grapes: no pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. The choice of traditional plowing and manual harvesting is emphasized, as soon as the grapes reach perfect maturity. He avoids interventions in the cellar and prefers traditional maturation, without rushing the steps.
Certified organic, this 100% Chenin comes from over 70 year-old-vines. No malolactic fermentation and aged in barrel (20% new and 80% 1-to-4-year-old barrels).
