Quite a deep garnet. Sweet fruit but good freshness too. Fairly simple but almost ready to drink. (JR)

80% Sauvignon Blanc, 20% Sémillon. Organic. Ripe, deep, creamy citrus. Generous and full fruited on the mid palate but disappears rather quickly. Great freshness – almost a little too much but would certainly whet the appetite as an aperitif. (JH)
Some pleasant berry and floral character to this medium-bodied young red with silky tannins and a fresh finish.
Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Picque-Caillou leaps from the glass with bold notes of blackcurrant cordial, blueberry pie and preserved plums with hints of damp soil, truffles and camphor. Full-bodied, it gives mouth-filling black fruits with loads of minty sparks and a firm, chewy frame, finishing long and earthy.

Neighbouring Haut-Brion and Pape Clément, this estate has been turned around since Paulin Calvet took over in 2007. Working with the legendary late Denis Dubourdieu and Valérie Lavigne, results have been impressive.
