Caillots 2018
100% chalky
Pineapple - more exuberance
Chalk is white so it maturess earlier. On lees for 2 months. Balances acidity. Creaminess! Most fruit fwd and tropical.

Some bottle age, richness and texture, and paired with freshly caught Sheepshead gets it done.

Single vineyard. 40 year old vines. Modern and clean. Chalk and mineral and modest gooseberry.

Bright and tangy. Very giving with tropical, zesty. High acid and somewhat new world for Sancerre.

Soft, long mouthfeel with plenty of space to taste the minerality. Not as sharp as I prefer my sancerres.

Acid, grassy, strong mineral aromas with high acidity for powerful fish dishes
