The 15-hectare Domaine de la Butte was acquired by the Blot family in 2002. Applying an approach seen on the hillsides of Burgundy, this south-facing vineyard has been divided into different plots by geological strata as they go up the hill. This cuvée comes from Cabernet Franc vines at the top of the slope. Very deep ruby in colour, aromas are intense: floral cassis and liquorice. Palate has great depth of dark berry fruit with an attractive herbal tone, tannins being super-fine and silky. This is a wine of real personality, impeccably combining richness and intensity with Cabernet Franc’s natural, vibrant freshness (for drinking 2024-2030+).
