Jean Pabiot et Fils Kimeridé 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 Kimmeridgien, time of the geological formation of this terroir. This cuvée, produced only with the best vintages, is a plot selection of this Kimmeridgian limestone terroir, with fossils (ammonites, small oysters, etc.).

The vineyards are sustainably managed, certified TERRA VITIS and High Environmental Value.
