Enticing smoky notes waft from the glass, leading to a richly textured palate. It is quite tight and closed at the moment, but the finish is infinitely long and you can sense the potential from its well-balanced fruit, tannins and acidity. Naturally this needs more time in bottle, and has the potential for a higher score. Jacky and Joëlle Blot bought the 16-hectare Domaine de la Butte in 2002 and since then have been making a marvellous range of Bourgueils. The vines are planted on steep, south-facing slopes on clay-limestone soils and are classified in a Burgundian style; with Mi-Pente being the grand cru in the middle of the slope and best exposed. This cuvée, Le Haut de la Butte, is from the premier cru area just above Mi-Pente, where the slope is more gentle and more exposed to the wind, although the wood at the top of the slope provides shelter from north winds. The hand picked grapes are sorted twice in the vineyard before being dropped through a hole directly into the winery below. The wine is fermented and matured in wood.
Cabernet Franc is not simply an important grape varietal for the fact that it is one of the most widely grown strains of vine in the world, but also because it is a vital grape in the production of many of the finest wines the world has ever seen. For centuries in its native France, it has been a varietal synonymous with elegance and high quality, and has become a key fruit in the production of the Bordeaux and Bordeaux-style blended wines which have gone down in history thanks to their magnificent flavors, aromas and levels of aged complexity. However, Cabernet Franc is also a wine grape varietal for use in single variety, unblended wines, and has plenty to offer on its own. Most commonly, it is renowned for its wide bouquet, which often includes fascinating notes of tobacco, violets or bell pepper over a beautifully pale and decadent liquid.
France, often regarded as the heart of the wine world, boasts a rich history, diverse terroirs, and a captivating variety of grape varietals. From the renowned vineyards of Bordeaux to the picturesque landscapes of Burgundy, France offers a wine lover’s dream journey. Whether you’re new to the world of wine or a seasoned enthusiast looking […]
Within France, the one region most closely associated with fine white and rosé wines is surely the Loire Valley. With over eight controlled appellations, and a relatively large expanse of land covering this wide valley, the Loire Valley is an ideal location for wineries wishing to produce large quantities of excellent quality vines for their wine production. Indeed, this region has been associated with excellent white wines for over a thousand years, with it once being the favorite wine region for the crowned heads of England, France and beyond. Today, it produces a wide range of white wines, and several rosé and red varieties also. It is also widely celebrated for being home to some of France's most lively and fruity sparkling crémant wines, which more than match those produced in nearby Champagne.
