Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Château Picque Caillou, Pessac Léognan, 2019

Pauline Calvet's Picque Caillou is a perennial favourite of ours. Situated between Haut Brion and Merignac airport, this chateau makes a habit of outclassing far more illustrious names from the Pessac commune. Produced from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot and aged in 40% new oak barrels, the bouquet has a wonderful fragrance of bright Morello cherry, crème de mûre, stony minerals and a note of potpourri. Sumptuous redcurrant and cassis, then herb infused cranberries and sweet griotte. This is a beautifully poised, bright fruited Picque Caillou. Highly recommended!

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.
