Tasting Notes
More mineral-driven than Vouvray, this wine offers less ripe, yet still charming fruit. Flavours of quince, honey, flint, smoke, and white flowers are complemented by maritime notes. It's round but less full-bodied than Vouvray, with more green flavours and a lovely salty finish. A complex and delightful wine.
This wine remains consistently great, featuring quince, tilia honey, white flowers, and gunpowder, accented by oak. Its nuanced, complex, and multilayered profile is truly remarkable. The wonderful structure is complemented by a salty note, making it deliciously unique, and the persistent aftertaste further enhances its allure. A truly sophisticated and enjoyable wine.
At this point, I just love to see the reaction of people who know nothing about the late Jacky Blot. Our little church gets bigger, boys. Anyhow, incredible, complex, multilayered and mineral Chenin Blanc. Gorgeous today and I reckon it's gonna be even better in a few years.
Pfff, typical Jacky Blot. Sophisticated, nuanced and perfectly balanced. A mixture of quince, wet stones, tilia honey, gunpowder and white flowers. A long and delicious aftertaste with flavours of lemon, quince, wet pebbles and honey. Rejoice!
Behind the scenes:
- Do you want to join my religion?
- What's your religion?
- We drink Jacky Blot after multiple Poulsard bottles.
- Count me interested.
Just mindblowing. Powerful and sophisticated. A charming bouquet of quince, wet stones, gunpowder, and tilia honey. Nuanced, detailed and perfectly balanced. The aftertaste is long and persistent. A wine to drink and to enjoy without any buts (single 't').
