“Still one of the favorites in the lineup, it is at once warm and fruity, yet smooth and structured—tart and juicy with citrus notes of lemon and white fruits, as well as a hint of herbaceous pepper, and deeply mineral. It offers wonderful harmony and balance, along with excellent aging potential. This is a serious wine, just waiting to be paired with shellfish or smoked fish.” (Decanter)

About the wine:

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

Robert Parker - Wine Advocate

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

About the wine:

Hailing from Les Loges, the 2020 Pouilly-Fumé Caillottes opens with a beautifully pure and subtly intense, mineral—even flinty—nose, also revealing delicate, ripe, white, and refreshing fruit with a hint of red currant and leafy notes. Elegant, refined, and lively on the palate, this is a dense, consistently mineral, and well-structured Pouilly with a long, intense, and powerful finish [...] The fine tannins and richness of this elegant 2020 Pouilly indicate good aging potential.
