This organic Sancerre is a classic expression of the Loire Valley, produced by the Dauny family who have been pioneers of organic viticulture since the 1960s. The name ‘Caillottes’ refers to the specific stony, chalky limestone soils characteristic of the region, which impart a distinct mineral energy to the 100% Sauvignon Blanc grapes. The wine is remarkably aromatic, offering a refined bouquet of citrus zest, white flowers and the signature gunflint minerality of Sancerre. On the palate, it is crisp and precise, featuring vibrant flavours of lemon and green apple underpinned by a stony, saline depth. Its elegant structure and sharp acidity lead to a clean, persistent finish that is both refreshing and complex. This sophisticated white is a traditional partner for local goat’s cheese, particularly Crottin de Chavignol. It also pairs beautifully with fresh oysters, grilled sea bass, or light asparagus dishes. Widely respected for its purity and environmental credentials, this wine is a benchmark for those seeking an authentic and sustainably produced Sancerre.
