Jean Pabiot et Fils Kiméride Pouilly-Fumé

Son and grandson of Jean Pabiot, Alain and Jérôme manage the Domaine des Fines Caillottes within the Pouilly-Fumé appellation. The terroirs, mainly clay limestone, are therefore very varied: white limestone pebbles known as “caillottes”, marl with small fossilized oysters (kimmeridgian) and flint. This diversity of terroirs gives the estate’s wines their aromatic complexity.

“Kiméride” comes from Kimmeridgian, the period of the geological formation of this terroir. This vintage is a selection of plots from this terroir whose limestone stones are dotted with fossils (ammonites, small oysters, etc.). This cuvée is produced only with the best vintages, and exclude grapes from young vines.

Richness, concentration, elegance and intense aromas of ripe fruit characterize this Pouilly-Fumé which expresses the quintessence of Sauvignon.

Certified TERRA VITIS (for the respect of the environment, Men and wines produced) and HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE (for the respect of biodiversity and the reduction of the inputs).
