Domaine Alain Cailbourdin, Pouilly-Fume 'Les Cris', 2023 (375ml)
A great bottle you don't have to finish is one of wine's quiet luxuries, and this half-bottle of Pouilly-Fume makes the case. 'Les Cris' is Alain Cailbourdin's limestone cuvee, drawn from thin soils over Portlandian rock on the Loire's right bank, and it's the pure, chiseled side of Sauvignon Blanc rather than the smoky, flinty one. Fermented and raised in stainless steel with nothing to get in the way, it's all citrus, chalk, and salt. The 2023 is generous but focused, the kind of white that wakes up a table without asking for attention. Crack it for two, or crack it for one.
