Bourgueil Pied de la Butte, Jacky Blot 2024
Red Wine from France - Loire
We’ve long been fans of the whites from the late Jacky Blot’s Taille Aux Loups, but this achingly fresh and characterful cabernet franc was just too good to ignore. Pied de la Butte comes from 30-year-old vines grown on limestone and clay at the foot of the Butte in Bourgueil and it’s the only wine in the range made entirely in stainless steel, which keeps things bright, fresh and vibrant. This is cab franc in its most joyful form: bursting with red fruit, a flick of spice and a touch of liquorice. Light, lively and packed with character, it’s a no-brainer with summer barbeque- brilliant value from one of the Loire’s legends.
