You will get two emails from us with regards to your order. The first email from us only confirms that we received your order. The second email will confirm that we have enough wine to fill your order. Due to the high volume of sales there are times when the wine has sold out, but our system is still updating and shows it as available. We're sorry for any inconvenience and will do what we can to fill your order!

Thanks to your feedback we might bring back some of Cinderella Wine's popular previous offers. If a wine makes another appearance here, this newer offer will always be slightly higher than the original one. Offers that are on the site on Friday through Sunday will be shipped on Monday.

Best Price on Web is determined by Wine-Searcher Pro prices as of yesterday: Wine Library sells this for our sale price of $34.98. The best price on the web is $30. You must be logged into the Pro version to see all of the results! Wine Library shoppers may remember, we sold this for as low as $28.98 on the shelf back in 2008. Late in December, we were able to buy more but at a higher price so our new sale price became $34.98!

91-92 Pts David Schildknecht - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"From a single parcel of old vines and vinified in barrique, Blot's 2005 Bourgueil Mi-Pente (which was about to be bottled when I tasted it) displays a nose of walnut oil, machine oil, truffles, flowers, and ripe, lightly-cooked blackberries, spreads deep, ripe black fruit on the palate, and finishes with intensely black fruit, roasted meatiness and nutty toastiness. This superbly-structured, finely-tannic Bourgueil will make a superb wine and deserves at least 3-5 years in a cellar to prove itself. The 2002 Mi-Pente is excellent today, although Blot hastens to point out that both the quality of raw material and his mode of elevage are superior in 2005. Jacky Blot (better known for the Montlouis from his Domaine de la Taille Aux Loups, also reviewed in this report) has operated the Domaine de la Butte in Bourgueil since 2002, quickly vindicating his choice of location as well as his red wine making talents." -91 points- David Schildknecht- Wine Advocate

WINERY:
"After founding Domaine de la Taille aux Loups in 1989 and bringing its wines to international acclaim, Loire master Jacky Blot acquired Domaine de la Butte in the appellation of Bourgueil in the summer of 2002. He seized upon the opportunity to make equally great reds by acquiring an ideal bloc of Cabernet Franc vines averaging 30 years of age entirely on one, south-facing slope bordered by protective forests in Bougueil. The entire slope has a bed of limestone rock and different top-soils and microclimates. The variations give rise to the four cuvees that Blot crafts at his Bourgeuil domaine. He aims to produce dramatic, intensely flavored and original red wines." -Importer

VINEYARDS:
"Blot employs the same exacting 'lutte raisonee' vineyard practices as for his white grapes in Montlouis and Vouvray. All the rows are plowed and no chemicals are used in order to encourage the roots to penetrate deep into the subsoil. Yields are kept low by removing buds at the beginning of the growing season and green harvesting in August. Leaves are removed in order to increase exposure to the sun, ensure aeration of the vines, and facilitate hand harvesting. All grapes are hand selected and picked at optimal maturity and then placed in small boxes for transport to the winery, where they are further sorted on a table de tri. The fruit is destemmed and descended by gravity into wooden and concrete fermentation tanks." -Importer

WINE:
"The Mi-Pente bottling is the most concentrated cuvee, as it comes from the oldest vines: they are 50 years old. The wine is given a one-month long maceration period, and is then aged entirely in barriques, which are one-third each new, one year and two years old." -Importer

This wine scored a median of 91 points in 16 notes on Cellar Tracker. See the reviews here: http://www.cellartracker.com//wine.asp?iWine=434056
