Château Picque Caillou Blanc, Pessac Léognan, 2018

Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Château Picque Caillou Blanc, Pessac Léognan, 2018

A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon picked nice and early between the 23rd and 31st August, displaying all the freshness and purity we’ve come to expect from Paulin Calvert’s perennially top value Picque Caillou. Fresh salty citrus and stone notes with real vitality and vibrancy. Fabulous value.

ABV:
13%
84/100
Neal Martin, Vinous
The 2018 Picque Caillou Blanc has a slightly dusty bouquet that I was unable to dislodge with aeration. The palate is simple, with light pineapple and white peach notes, but it never seems to take off. I kept staring at my glass urging "more," but none came.

Château Picque Caillou

Chateau Picque Caillou was built in 1780 in what was then the countryside outside of Bordeaux. It is situated near the Rocade and more importantly, just a few hundred metres from Chateau Haut Brion.

Isabelle and Paulin Calvet took over the management of the estate prior to purchasing it in 1997. This dynamic family has brought a fresh burst of life to the property. With the active involvement of superstar winemaker Denis Dubourdieu, Picque Caillou is now producing award winning wines that are well worth hunting down.
