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

About the wine:

Always a favorite in the lineup, it is both 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. 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 rated (2022 guide) 92/100 (An outstanding wine)

About the wine:

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