Tasting notes
The cuvée 'Les Caillottes' of the Domaine du Bouchot is a Pouilly Fumé with a nose of passion fruit, clementine, gunflint... On the palate a magnificent fruit expresses itself under a chalky minerality. The terroir of chalky pebbles gives this sauvignon fatness and tension, the biodynamics brings richness and density, wrapped in a creamy texture but absolutely on the fresh, almost racy side.

17.5/20 - Jancis Robinson
"A wine like this makes me swallow all the rude things I (sometimes) think about Sauvignon Blanc. It's diaphanous. It's like tasting the moon: glowingwhite, nacreous. Citrus pith and the cold sweet perfume of night flowers. Crisply defined yet the texture of flowing satin. Quiet lines etched like the whorls of a shell. It's like slender, cool fingers tapping Morse code at the top of your spine - urgent, silent, exquisitely precise. And then the finish is a fern-fringed pool of gentle bitterness. It's stunning. Drink 2024 - 2032." - Tamlyn Currin
