FR Jean Pabiot “Domaine des Fines Caillottes” Pouilly-Fumé

Son and grandson of Jean Pabiot, Alain and Jérôme manage the Domaine des Fines Caillottes within the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. The terroirs, mainly clay limestone, are therefore very varied: white limestone pebbles known as “caillottes”, marl with small fossilized oysters (kimmeridgian) and flint. This diversity of terroirs gives the estate’s wines their aromatic complexity.The “Domaine des Fines Caillottes” Pouilly-Fumé is the blend of wines from the great diversity of terroirs and vines of various ages from the estate.
