Winemaker Notes

La Porte du Caillou is expressing some exotic fruits sublimed by citrus character. Its persistence and its harmony find their origin in the well exposed vines and the nature of the soil. Lean and lively with a chalky texture, ripe citrus flavors, and great depth.

Very pleasant at the beginning of a meal, this wine is an excellent companion for seafood and white meat, developing roundness and delightful softness.

For 10 generations, our family has devoted its passion and values to Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir to craft wines of unique expression. Each member of our family, Jean-Marie Bourgeois, Arnaud, Lionel & Jean-Christophe, brings its knowledge and expertise to our wine Estate. Rooted to our beloved village of Chavignol, on the greatest terroirs of Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé, we work on a mosaic of many vine plots. Each plot is isolated and worked in respect of its origin to reveal, in the most precise and true way, the expression of its terroir - either Kimmerigdian marls, Flint or Limestone Clay soils. Curious and of a pioneering spirit, our family established in 2000, our organically farmed Clos Henri vineyard, in Marlborough, New Zealand. Here, too, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir blossom on the great terroirs of this region.
