About the domain :
After the death of his father, a charismatic figure in world winegrowing, Jean-Philippe Blot took up the reins alone, aided by a close-knit technical and cultural team. This is the best way to ensure the continuity of this flagship estate in the French wine world, which shines with wines that are always well-balanced, displaying great aromatic intensity and depth.
