In a few words ...
Close to the prestigious Château Haut Brion, Château Picque Caillou extends its 20-hectare vineyard right on the doorstep of Bordeaux, the historic birthplace of the appellation. Under the decisive impetus of Paulin and Isabelle Calvet, this superb gravel terroir has been endowed with all the assets required to produce a great wine: optimization of vineyard data, refined plot management, vinification in keeping with the terroir and the vintage, drastic selections... The result is a wine of great lineage, remarkable for its balance and delicacy, and highly representative of the values of the prestigious Pessac-Léognan appellation. James Suckling ( 91 )
Firm and precise. A very fine Cru!
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
Wine Fruity | Long
