Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2006 Cuvée de Boisfleury Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- Editors' Choice
From clay and chalk soil, Boisfleury is the finest of Alain Cailbourdin’s three cuvées. This 2006 gives ripeness and freshness, but also a firm structure and weight behind the mineral front. This should age well—over 5 years.

Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2005 Cuvée de Boisfleury Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
A crisp, steely wine, with piercing fresh pink grapefruit flavors. There is a wonderfully clean, refreshing character to this wine, livened with acidity and green fruits.

Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2005 Triptyque Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
A blend from all his vines, this is Alain Cailbourdin’s wood aged top wine. This is a fine example of a wooded Sauvignon Blanc, judiciously creamy, but not losing the fresh vitality of the grape, adding richness to the already concentrated fruit. It makes a great food wine; drink now.

Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2006 Les Cris Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
This is all rocks and chalk and structure, a wine that is set to be a powerful expression of Sauvignon Blanc, even while it is rather one dimensional. The green plum and grapefruit flavors are there, but the taut mineral character dominates.

Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2005 Les Cornets Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
Alain Cailbourdin makes three different wines from his three vineyards. Les Cornets is the softest of the three, a pleasingly ripe wine that offers almonds, green herbs, full quince and kiwi fruits.

Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2005 Les Cris Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $22
A rich, but mineral driven wine, with flavors of quince, citrus and green herbs. This is young but over 2–3 years it will develop into a richer, smoother wine.

Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2000 Le Cris Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $20
This wine is so typical of the area. It’s defined by a stony, dry nose, citrus and tropical fruit flavors, a lean, tight finish and mouth-cleaning acids. It’s hardly the deepest, most complex wine you’ll find, but not all good wines have to be complicated.

Domaine A. Cailbourdin 2003 Les Cris Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
- $22
Apple and pine aromas are the highlights of the simple bouquet, while the mouth is big, heavy and weighted down by sweet fruit, particularly peach and mango. Seems a bit heavy and lacking in verve for a Loire Sauvignon, but that’s 2003 for you. Imported by Daniel Johnnes Wines.
