2021 Domaine Du Bouchot Pouilly-Fume Caillottes

Formed in 1966, Domaine du Bouchet is now owned by Antoine Gouffier who purchased the 10 hectare estate in 2019. Antoine is a native of Saint Andelain, though he spent years abroad gaining experience in the USA, New Zealand, Middle East, Argentina and notably in South Africa. Upon returning to France, he purchased the estate from Pascal Kerbiquet, a local figure who had made a name for himself working organically and with biodynamic farming. In very short time Antoine has risen to prominence, and in 2022 was named “Discovery of the Year 2022” by the French wine magazine La Revue du Vin de France.

Other Reviews....
The richly fragrant 2021 Caillottes offers dill, fennel and elderflower at this early stage. Having undergone full malo and remained on lees for 12 months, it has a round and creamy texture while retaining the natural freshness of the vintage with an appealing line of acidity and chalky, almost tannic grip. If I'm nitpicking, a little less creaminess would make it even better. Drink 2023-2026.

Fresh nose of citrus and green grass, together with hints of blossoms and minerals. Medium-bodied with a silky, almost creamy mouth-feel to counter the vibrant acidity. Long finish with lemon sorbet and minerals. Delicious. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Unfiltered. Drink now.
