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

 

Château Picque Caillou Blanc: A Grand Cru Experience

Hailing from the esteemed Pessac-Léognan appellation in Bordeaux, the Château Picque Caillou Blanc is a magnificent dry white wine. Its vineyard is nestled on the classic gravelly ‘Graves’ soils, which impart the wine with its signature minerality and complexity. This is a top-tier white Bordeaux, offering serious structure and considerable aging potential, making it a must-have for any discerning cellar.

Tasting Profile & Terroir

• Colour: Pale golden straw with a youthful, bright sheen.
• Aroma: Elegant and layered, featuring concentrated notes of lemon curd, fresh pineapple, acacia flower, and a subtle hint of beeswax. The underlying flinty minerality speaks directly of its prized Pessac-Léognan terroir.
• Taste: The palate is remarkably precise and full-bodied, yet wonderfully fresh. The Sauvignon Blanc provides tension and zest, while the Sémillon adds a creamy roundness. Expect a vibrant core of fruit and a lengthy, focused, and beautifully balanced finish.

Food Pairing & Ideal Serve

Serve this wine slightly chilled (10-12°C). It is exceptionally well-suited to rich fish and shellfish preparations, where its acidity can cut through creamy sauces and complement delicate flavors.
