Domaine de la Taille aux loups

Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, now run by Jean-Philippe Blot, stands out for its Vouvray and Montlouis-sur-Loire wines of remarkable quality and modernity.

In 1989, Jacky Blot took over the vineyards in Montlouis, and began his enterprise of constant innovation. With vision and daring, he used practices that were still uncommon at the time, such as ploughing and manual harvesting. He became the owner of Domaine de la Taille aux Loups and, over the years, a role model for the next generation of Montlouis winemakers.

At Domaine de la Taille aux Loups, Jacky Blot has produced a range of dry, semi-dry, sweet and syrupy wines. These wines from Vouvray and Montlouis-sur-Loire are made from a single grape variety, Chenin Blanc - also known as Pineau de Loire - which, like Jacky Blot, is quite demanding.

The uniqueness of his career and his passionate character have made him an atypical figure, a trailblazer in the Montlouis vineyard. He has helped the young wolves of Montlouis to emerge from the shadows of Vouvray, with superb wines that are as demanding as ever.

Today, the estate extends over 25 hectares of Chenin Blanc, planted on the sunny limestone hillsides along the banks of the Loire and Cher rivers.

Since Jacky Blot's death in May 2023, his son Jean-Philippe Blot has taken over the running of the estate, supported by a skilled and dedicated technical team. This new chapter promises to perpetuate the excellence of this emblematic Montlouis-sur-Loire estate.
