The Wine
Former paratrooper, then wine broker, Jacky Blot fell in love with the wines of Montlouis and set out to produce a small range of wines that would startle the appellation out of the shadows of its neighbour, Vouvray. Starting with this 8-hectare domaine in 1989, the family now has 25 hectares, every vine painstakingly cared for organically. Decanter claimed that the estate “produces some of the region’s best-quality and top-value dry Chenins”. Jacky died in 2023, passing on his winemaking passion to his son Jean-Philippe. His fine Clos du Hochet comes from a vineyard with a shallow clay-flint topsoil that loses the sun quite early in the day. The result is a brilliant Montlouis that’s taut and very citrusy, with floral and pastry notes.
