Jean Pabiot et Fils Des Fines Caillottes Pouilly Fume 2022

Jean Pabiot et Fils Domaine des Fines Caillottes Pouilly-Fume wine hails from the prestigious Pouilly-Fume appellation in the Loire Valley, known for producing some of the world's finest Sauvignon Blancs. The region's diverse terroirs—including limestone pebbles ("caillottes"), Kimmeridgian marl, and flint (silex)—impart unique complexity and minerality to its wines, making Pouilly-Fume a hallmark of elegance.

Made entirely from Sauvignon Blanc grapes, this wine embodies the appellation's dry and mineral-driven style. The influence of multiple terroirs ensures a balance between ripe fruit and zesty freshness. The grapes undergo partial skin-contact maceration without stems to enhance aromatics. A gentle pressing and sedimentation process maintain the wine's finesse. Fermentation and maturation occur in stainless steel tanks, with fine lees stirring until Christmas to add texture and depth. The final blend combines selections from various terroirs to showcase the region's diversity.

The 2022 vintage bursts with aromas of citrus and tropical fruits like blood orange, peach, and mango. On the palate, it is rich yet balanced, featuring a slight saline quality and a long, elegant finish. The vibrant acidity underscores its refreshing character.

Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with seafood, sushi, grilled fish, poultry, white meats, and goat cheese. Serve chilled at 10–12°C.
