Pascal Jolivet : Les Caillottes 2022

Shows impressive concentration and savory power, with notes of sweet hay and jasmine overlaying a rich well of herb oil, lime zest, parsley and bitter herbs. This turns supple and round on the palate, with a silky feel to its crunchy nectarine element. Ends on a fresh note, offering cooling wet stone minerality. Drink now through 2029. 150 cases imported.

This wine opens with orange marmalade, roasted green apple, quince slice, Korean pear and grated lemon peel. Chalkiness reveals itself on the palate, followed by lively acidity that races through to the long finish. Pair this wine with foods and after courses that crave a palate cleanser.
