Great article, with maps! Nerds like me love seeing them. Haven't had a Chiens Chiens in a few years, but thought it was an excellent CF, very reasonably priced. Tonight I'm savoring a couple of glasses of Jacky Blot 2020 Domaine de la Butte Bourgueil La Haut de la Butte. Just wonderful. Hope the Domaine lives on. Safe travels!

Thank you for reading, Michael. I may have slid those maps in there just for you this week. 😉 I’m glad you’ve had a chance to try Les Chiens Chiens. It had been a few years myself (since that video on the 2014 actually!), so it was nice to revisit it. Love the wines of Domaine de la Butte. I have no doubt the next generation will honour Jacky’s legacy. ❤️

Still not had a CF from Noblaie 😢. Will have to get my hands on some, this sounds great!

You need to change that, Tom! (Jk… but not) Jérôme’s wines are top top. Worth seeking out. 😁

Les Chiens Chiens sound superb - hope you have a lovely trip over there (not jealous at all) - looking forward to hearing all about it!

It was a really delicious wine! And thank you! I will definitely be sharing impressions from my trip, so stay tuned. Apologies in advance for excessive Chinon content that could be on the horizon. 😂

Can’t complain about any level of Chinon content - will stay tuned!
