Description
“Les Caillottes” is a quintessential expression of Sancerre, named after the specific stony, limestone-rich soil (caillottes) of the region. Produced by the renowned Jean-Max Roger estate, this 100% Sauvignon Blanc is sourced from vineyards in the village of Bué, where the terroir imparts a distinct elegance and tension.
The wine offers a brilliant pale gold color with silver highlights. The nose is vibrant and complex, featuring intense aromas of citrus fruit, white flowers, and exotic fruits. On the palate, it is crisp and well-balanced with a soft, rounded attack that leads into a long, mineral-rich finish characterized by refreshing acidity. This wine perfectly captures the purity of Sauvignon Blanc grown on pure limestone.
