Winemaker Notes: A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon picked between 3 and 11 September, this has a very attractive nose of lemon peel, apricot blossom and a faint touch of toffee apple. The palate is nicely balanced with subtle tropical notes on the entry, dried apricot and a touch of white peach that inform the spicy finish. This is a very good white from Pique-Caillou.
The name Caillou refers to pebbles, reflecting the fact that this was once riverbed, when the river Garonne overflowed millions of years ago. The characteristic elegance and finesse of this wine is attributed to its free-draining, gravelly soil and subsoil. Lovely, gentle grassiness and wet-stone minerality, with enough weight to give this real substance. A great example of white Bordeaux wine.

With a high percentage of Sauvignon Blanc showing through the wood aging, this is a fresh wine that has a strong element of tropical fruits. The wine is textured and has plenty of potential.

An enticing version, whose lemon sherbet, verbena, salted butter and tarragon notes meld nicely with its plump, juicy feel and good latent energy through the finish. Drink now through 2030.

Flint, guava, green kiwis and gooseberries. Fresh, dry and zesty on the palate with a medium body and bright, mineral finish. Pretty energetic and nervy. 100% sauvignon blanc.
