Tasting Note:
The 2024 Fines Caillottes from Domaine Jean Pabiot is a benchmark Pouilly-Fumé, delivering elegance, tension, and layered aromatics in perfect harmony. It opens with a radiant bouquet of citrus peel, ripe yellow peach, and a whisper of tropical pineapple. These vibrant fruit tones carry through on the palate, where zesty acidity meets a generous, almost creamy mouthfeel, giving the wine both lift and weight.

True to its Loire Valley terroir, a refined smoky-flint minerality weaves through the finish, offering a compelling counterpoint to the wine’s ripe core. Polished and precise, this Sauvignon Blanc is both crowd-pleasing and cellar-worthy, ideal for sipping as an aperitif or pairing with oysters, grilled white fish, poultry, or the region’s signature goat cheeses.

Serve chilled (10–12°C). While it drinks beautifully now, its crisp vibrancy and lees-aged depth will reward enjoyment through 2029. A vivid expression of terroir and varietal purity.
