This wine comes from
the first certified organic estate in the Loire Valley and in 2021 they will be fully biodynamic certified
as well. The wines are made from 10 hectares worth of Sauvignon Blanc planted around the winery, which is
located in the village of Saint Andelain on the east side of the Loire (facing Sancerre). Biodynamic
practices are taken within the vineyard and winery and the wines are naturally fermented in stainless steel
vats with indigenous yeasts and aged in either vat, barrique or amphora.
The vines for this
wine are grown in limestone. The wine has a very fresh nose with mineral notes to it. This mineral sensation
continues on the palate; the wine is fresh and elegant with an abundance of citrus fruit.

The 2019 Sancerre Caillotttes is a very pure
wine that might be full in body and seamless in texture but
displays a light touch. The wine coats the palate with a powdery texture,
as if it were a red wine. The long finish is redolent of gunsmoke and
almond.
