Extraordinarily elegant, when young this wine possesses aromas of pineapple, citrus, peach and mineral tones. On the palate, Les Cris is powerful, well-structured and very rich. Excellent balance is achieved due to the perfect ripeness of the grapes at harvest.

Harvested on the best limestone slopes in the appellation blessed with southwestern exposure, this cuvee is a true thoroughbred and the most characteristic of our wines. Les "Cris" is the local term used to describe a parcel of vines planted in caillotes or pebbly limestone soil.

The estate was created in 1980 by Alain Caïlbourdin and today it is comprised of 20 hectares (approximately 40 acres) of vines planted in some of the best Pouilly-Fumé slopes. About half of the vines are "vieilles vignes" or old vines; the other half are vines planted since 1980.
