Note di degustazione
Medium to light gold-hued, the 2023 Château Picque Caillou Blanc offers exotic melon and subtle tropical fruits, honeyed flowers, and a kiss of chalky minerality. It's medium-bodied, bright, racy, and juicy, with a clean, balanced profile. All Sauvignon Blanc aged seven months on the lees in 30% new French oak, it will drink nicely over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2036.

Attractive and fresh, with green gooseberry, quince, subtle mineral and cream aromas. Bright and zesty, with a medium to full body and a lengthy finish. Drinkable now, but can hold for a few years.
A little austere, this is slim through the palate, majoring on green apple, white pear, saffron and sage, with apple blossom aromatics. A little short, but with charm, 20% new oak for ageing.
Informazioni sul produttore
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.
