Château Picque Caillou Blanc – Pessac-Léognan – White – 2022:

 

The Epitome of Pessac-Léognan Dry White

The Château Picque Caillou Blanc is the ultimate expression of premium dry white Bordeaux. Sourced from the prestigious ‘Graves’ terroir right on the outskirts of Bordeaux city, this wine stands shoulder-to-shoulder with the top classified growths of the Pessac-Léognan appellation. It’s a rare, highly sought-after bottling, showcasing the exceptional quality of the Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon blend.

Tasting Notes & Profile

• Appearance: Brilliant pale yellow with green hints.
• Nose: A complex and aromatic profile, opening with vibrant citrus (lime zest, grapefruit), moving to white stone fruit (nectarine, peach), and a signature smoky minerality, all framed by perfectly integrated oak.
• Palate: The entry is crisp and taut, building into a beautifully structured, full-bodied experience. It offers a perfect balance of rich texture and racy acidity, culminating in a long, energetic, and slightly saline finish. This wine is built for both immediate pleasure and long-term aging.

Pairing & Serving Suggestions

This sophisticated white demands an equally refined culinary partner. Serve chilled (50-54°F or 10-12°C). Its structure and acidity make it a versatile choice for fine dining.
