The New Benchmark for Pouilly-Fumé
2020 Domaine du Bouchot Les Caillottes Pouilly-Fume
Antoine Gouffier is completely electrifying the Pouilly-Fumé appellation.

Tasting notes
Aroma
Electric aromatics of crushed oyster shell, green apple skin, yuzu, and struck flint, woven with a delicate white-floral top note.

The electric, hyper-focused 2021 Les Caillottes
Antoine Gouffier is completely electrifying the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. After taking the reins at Domaine du Bouchot, he rapidly elevated the estate's farming and earned La Revue du Vin de France's coveted "Discovery of the Year" award. The 2021 Les Caillottes is a testament to why he is considered the Loire Valley's most exciting young talent.
In a classic, cooler vintage like 2021, the estate's unique Portlandian limestone soils (the caillottes) shine with blinding clarity. This isn't a standard, tropical Sauvignon Blanc—it is a masterclass in tension, minerality, and vibrant energy. If you crave the crystalline purity and nerve of old-school Loire whites but with modern, biodynamically farmed vitality, this is your new benchmark. Lock in this razor-sharp expression before the rest of the market catches on to Gouffier's rise.
