Description
Pouilly Fumé, Domaine Des Fines Caillottes, Jean Pabiot, Loire, France, 2024, Half Bottle
Grape: 100% Sauvignon Blanc grown on various soils including flint, marl and limestone pebbles "Caillottes". Fermented with wild yeasts and aged for several months on the lees.
The vineyards are certified "Terra Vitis", a form of sustainable viticulture; not quite organic, but getting there!
Producer Tasting Note:
Pale gold with brilliant highlights, a nicely focused expressive nose with notes of citrus, pink grapefruit, white peach and tropical pineapple & mango. Taut palate with lovely full, ripe and succulent stuffing, a chalky impression, restrained freshness. Distinguished expression, crisp, fresh and dry from the flinty terroir of the Loire, displaying the typical smokiness of quality Pouilly Fume.
Critic's Tasting Note:
"Lemons, sliced pears and guavas on the nose of this medium-bodied white. It’s both fruity and minerally, with chalky undertones to the bright and crisp fruit. Drink now."
91/100 points, James Suckling, February 2026
Food Match: An exceptional Pouilly Fumé, delicious by itself as an aperitif, it is also excellent served with seafood, sushi, poultry and certain cheeses such as goats' cheese.
