About
La Butte is a domaine in Bourgueil which was established by the late Jacky Blot, Cabernet Franc is grown organically, hand-harvested and vinified according to his philosophy of minimal intervention. The 15 hectares vineyard site is surrounded by forest, protecting it from the dangers of spring frosts. These are pure and expressive wines which are delicious when drunk young but which are also capable of ageing gracefully for many years, in part thanks to Jacky Blot’s Burgundian approach to winemaking.
