The 2017 Caillou de Talbot Blanc is matured in one-third new oak with no racking. It has a simple but attractive bouquet with scents of red apple, melon and grapefruit, all well defined. The palate is balanced with a taut line of acidity that imbues this white Saint-Julien with attractive tension. Whilst it is not overly complexed, the lightly spiced finish is welcome and it has satisfying length.
A very good Caillou Blanc with wonderfully intense finessing on the aroma and on the attack. An intense sunflower yellow in colour, with some definite oak influencing on the palate. I'm surprised, in fact, by quite how rich this is - undoubtedly a successful, powerful, layered Sauvignon character, but with a silky texture through the palate and good juicy lift on the finish.
The 2017 Caillou Blanc de Talbot has quite an earthy nose of wet pebbles and struck flint over a core of lemon juice and white grapefruit. The palate is medium-bodied with fantastic intensity and bags of minerals on the long refreshing finish.

Quality has not necessarily always lived up to this property’s Fourth Growth status, however there have been significant improvements in recent years, with a sustainable focus in the vineyard, and new winery and cellar.
