Info

The Pouilly-Fumé Caillottes grows on limestone. The Sauvignon Blanc vines are spread across various plots totaling 1.68 hectares. The vineyards face west and southwest and are located at an altitude of 190 meters. The average age of the vines is 35–40 years, producing a yield of 55 hl/ha. After the harvest in early September, 60% of the wine is fermented with natural yeasts in steel tanks. 30% is vinified in 350–400 liter barrels, and 10% is vinified in concrete eggs. The phases of the moon, as well as the categorization of the calendar into leaf, root, fruit, and flowering days, play a major role at the domaine. Bottling took place without filtration on a fruit or flowering day during the waning moon.

Colour

Bright straw yellow with green reflections

Nose

The nose of the Pouilly-Fumé Caillotes is much more subtle. It exudes a certain Atlantic coolness and conveys associations with maritime aromas such as fresh seaweed, oyster shell, and sea spray. This freshness is also transferred into a phalanx of intensely fragrant herbs such as mint, chervil, and coriander. Unusually, it reveals a subtle bready note and freshly chopped almonds. White pepper and toasted coriander seeds provide both depth and spice. Flint and limestone come to mind. Its fruit consists of grapefruit, white peach, and nashi pear. It also shows us delicate hints of passion fruit and lychee.

Palate

With the first sip, it underlines its origins and a profound feeling that merges fruit and rock. The fruit flows subtly and delicately beneath a veil of minerality. Hints of cold smoke, paired with a subtle peppery spice, dominate the retronasal aroma. Its stony, mineral side conveys coolness and a certain seriousness. The fruit is by no means its most important aspect. Depth, length, elegance, provenance, and that invigorating herbal freshness on the finish distinguish it.
