" Always a favorite in the range, it is both warm and fruity and smooth and structured—tangy and juicy with lemon citrus and white fruits, as well as a hint of herbaceous pepper, and deeply mineral. Wonderful harmony and balance, and great aging potential. This is a serious wine, just waiting to be paired with shellfish or smoked fish." (Decanter)

About wine:

Always a favorite in the range, it is both warm and fruity and smooth and structured—tangy and juicy with lemon citrus and white fruits, as well as a hint of herbaceous pepper, and also deeply mineral. A wonderful harmony and balance, and great aging potential. This is a serious wine, just waiting to be paired with shellfish or smoked fish.

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

Wine rating (2022 guide) 92/100 (Outstanding wine)

About wine:

From Les Loges, the 2020 Pouilly-Fumé Caillottes opens beautifully pure and subtly intense, with mineral and even flinty notes on the nose, revealing fine, ripe, white and refreshing fruits with a hint of redcurrant and leafy notes. Elegant, refined, and sappy on the palate, this is a dense Pouilly with lasting minerality and structure, and a long, intense, and powerful finish [...] The fine tannins and richness of this elegant Pouilly 2020 indicate good aging potential.
