    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%
    87/100

    The 2020 Picque Caillou Blanc has an attractive nose with peach skin and pineapple scents, maybe just missing the complexity of its peers. The palate is quite malic on the entry and it comes across far less tropical-driven compared to the showing from barrel, just light notes of pineapple and quince towards the finish. Fine.
