Domaine Chatelain Pouilly-Fumé Les Chailloux Silex

Domaine Chatelain is one of the great domaines of Pouilly, run by the Chatelain family since 1630 and now in the hands of Vincent Chatelain, the 12th generation. The family farm 30 hectares across 6 of the appellation’s 7 communes, including some of the best land at Les Berthiers, where silex soils produce fine, aromatic wines of real intensity.

Made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc, Les Chailloux takes its name from the local word for the flinty clay and silex soils the vines are grown on. The result is a precise, steely Pouilly-Fumé with citrus, fresh herbs and the smoky, flinty minerality the appellation is famous for, finishing long and saline. Brilliant with oysters, shellfish or a Loire goat’s cheese.
