Pouilly Fume Caillottes 2022 Domaine du Bouchot

Avis professionnels

Winespectator (92)

Expressive and complex, with a rush of warm apple, quince and citrus preserves flecked with accents of dried green herbs and verbena. Density builds, with salted brioche and blanched almond notes chiming in, followed by a cleansing jolt of acidity. A pithy grapefruit hint makes for a pleasingly bitter-edged finish, with nice cut.

James Suckling (93)

Ripe citrus fruit, dried apricot and floral character, enriched by a dense layer of smooth minerals on the nose and palate. Medium-bodied with great poise and balance, creating an intense yet at the same time relaxed mouthfeel and a long finish. Classy.

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: glowing white, 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.
