Montlouis-sur-Loire Triple Zéro La Taille aux Loups - Jacky Blot
Information
About the producer

Having learned a lot from Nicolas Joly of la Coulée de Serrant, he took a different approach to winemaking and innovated constantly to breathe new life into the appellation. Ploughing and manual harvesting seemed quite groundbreaking at the time. He avoided malolactic fermentation for his dry wines, preferring to ferment them in barriques followed by a lengthy élevage in barrels (today a little more restrained). He also worked his magic on sparkling and sweet white wines.
Jacky Blot sadly passed away in May 2023. Today, the 45-hectare property is run by Jacky's son Jean-Philippe, who takes care of the Chenin vineyards beside the Loire and Cher Rivers.
Mainly located in Montlouis, the domain also owns 5 hectares of vineyards on two very fine terroirs in Vouvray - Clos de Venise (1 ha) and Clos de la Bretonnière (4 ha). It also acquired Clos de Mosny in Montlouis, a superb 12 hectare parcel fully enclosed within 1.6 km of walls. In 2011, the estate began using the best grapes from this very high quality, fully south-facing terroir for a new cuvée known as "Clos de Mosny". The remainder of the harvest goes partly into the "Clos Michet" cuvée and partly into the natural sparkling wine "Triple Zéro".
Finally, we should not forget Domaine de la Butte in Bourgueil and its 16 uninterrupted hectares of Cabernet Franc on one of the best hillsides in the appellation. The vineyards are both cultivated organically and have received official certification. Domaine de la Taille aux Loups is one of the best, if not the best, in the region!

About the wine

The Triple Zéro cuvée is undoubtedly the region's best natural sparkling wine. The wine's name is a very pragmatic one. It was christened Triple Zéro because the wine does not undergo chaptalisation, has no tirage liqueur and no expedition liqueur (with these last two methods being used to create most champagne wines). Jacky Blot met incorporates very ripe grapes into this cuvée, which already contain all the sugar required for the referemntation needed to create a natural sparkling effect.
