Pleasure to come back to one of my favourite Sancerre producers and celebrate first day of spring. Caillottes means “little stones” depicting its rocky limestone soil. Required more than an hour to open up.Pale lemon colour. Medium intensity aroma of gunflint, chalk, lemons, jasmine, acacia, faint notes of gooseberries and grassy touch. Medium+ body, silky, rich and vibrant, great energy with citrusy and mineral flavours, salty and flinty, soft but lively high acidity, saline, flinty and touch floral finish.

It’s become more interesting with maturity but the Sauvignon notes are so dominant … stopped after the first glass.

Evening of older more unusual wines... (Elgin): mid lemon with a corky taint that morphs to chemical and glue. Tastes as it smells. Flawed!

Good for a glass but monotonous after that.
