Good Sancerre character in a richer style. Brisk acidity underlies the citrus and grass notes, which lack the focus and length of a top vintage, yet are appealing. Drink now. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.??–BS??Region: France / Loire / Sancerre Select to Add

Among the range of Jolivet's 2000 Sancerres, Les Cailottes is the winner, hands down. It's zesty, with chalk and mineral qualities. The nose is clean, stony and pungent, while the flavors that come next are pure and ripe citrus and melon, with just a nip of honey. It closes out firm, round and full, and with elegance.——W.E.(8/1/2002)—— 90
