WINE ADVOCATE 91-92 POINTS - "From a single parcel of old vines and vinified in barrique of mixed age, Blot’s 2009 Bourgueil Mi-Pente evokes sweet lily-Read More...
like perfume and talcum along with scents of machine oil; peat and black tea; ripe blackberry and elderberry; and toasted walnut. Refined, almost velour-like in texture, this offers nutty richness and ripe black fruits along with hints of rare sirloin juices in a long, buoyant, downright refreshing finish. Blot suspects this deftly balanced wine will age well for the better part of two decades. Certainly I can imagine at least 8-10 years, although the trade record simply isn’t there other than by analogy with Bourgueil from other sites and growers."

heart of Touraine. The vineyards enjoy full southern exposure helping to ripen the Cabernet Franc grapes. This is the land of Cabernet Franc, better known locally as “Breton.” Though it’s known often as a blending grape in Bordeaux, it has the ability to shine nicely on it’s own in the Loire.

great balance and richness" says Matthieu. As good as the 2009 was, this wine has cool almost minty acidity lifting the complex and pure red fruits. A blend from St. Louans with mostly clay and limestone soils to give earthy well-structured wines, with 20% from gravel soils near Cravant, giving supple fruit. The weight and balance of this wine are superb, with mineral and acid flavors coating the fruit and the finish is very long. This wine is enjoyable now, but will really benefit from two years of aging - with peak drinking from after five to ten years. 13% abv.

who are dedicated to upholding the family’s high standards of viticulture and wine production. For their sparkling Rosé, the duo choose to fashion a 100% Cot- (the local term for Malbec) based cuvée. Even in the relatively cool environs of Touraine, Malbec is such a robust grape that the Herivaults had to be extremely careful to keep the time of skin contact with the must to a minimum in order to retain this sparkler’s delicacy and charm. They met this challenge with flying colors as this is a beautiful pale pink fizz that presents a lively assortment of red berry, nougat and watermelon flavors that are just the thing to help your roasted Turkey and cranberry sauce soar.

done Sauvignon Blanc from the Loire Valley! It delivers a precise, yet generous, package of even-keeled, elegant fruit that combines tangy vectors of lemon-lime, lemon zest and tangerine with generous dollops of ripe melon fruit. Hints of sundry tropical, fine herbs and a persistent minerality provide a backdrop to this wonderfully wrought wine that will definitely open some eyes! It is, without a doubt, the best Menetou-Salon we’ve ever tasted!
