Cave Alain Cailbourdin   Loire, France  
 
 
 
  "One of Pouilly-Fumé's Best Producers ****" -- Robert Parker

"Great Loire Producer" -- Wine Enthusiast


Alain Cailbourdin came to Pouilly-Fumé to work a harvest while attending university and never left.  After working for a variety of different producers, he eventually bought some of his own land and started to produce his own wine.  It was 1980 when Alain founded Domaine Alain Cailbourdin with a vintage from 2 ha of land.  The domaine now boasts 18 hectares comprising 35 different parcels throughout the appellation of Pouilly-Fumé.  

Alain is part of a new breed of winemakers dedicated to producing a high quality wine and not just a high volume wine.  His methods are traditional, yet his yields are low and the wines are concentrated and pure expressions of Sauvignon Blanc.  He believes in using a minimum of sulfur dioxide during and after vinification.
