Jean Pabiot et Fils 2004 Domaine des Fines Caillottes Sauvignon Blanc (Pouilly-Fumé)
The 20 different parcels that go to make up Fines Caillottes add up to 52 acres, a large estate for the region. Alain Pabiot makes an impressively classic Pouilly-Fumé, with the pure fruit of the Sauvignon made more subtle with flavors of herbs and a fine, poised structure. An excellent wine, and one that will certainly age well. Imported by Henry Wine Group.

Jean Pabiot et Fils 2004 La Merisière Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre)
From slopes in Chavignol and Sury-en-Vaux, this delicious wine has soft, ripe fruit, given a lift with gooseberry and green herb flavors. Crisp and light, it has complex acidity, a touch of green pea and a fine, fresh aftertaste. Imported by Henry Wine Group.
