The 2022 Blanc from Picque-Caillou reveals aromas of mango, lemongrass, boxwood and pear, followed by a moderately weighted, supple and round palate with an incisive mid-palate and a short, fruity finish.

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. Drink now.
Grapefruit, lemons, and flowers with a nice bite of green apples in a sweet, fruity, forward style that will be ready to go on release.
The 2022 Picque Caillou Blanc shows good energy, but also some angularity in its contours. This just needs a bit more mid-palate pliancy to balance things out.
About the producer

Neighbouring Haut-Brion and Pape Clément, this estate has been turned around since Paulin Calvet took over in 2007. Working with the legendary late Denis Dubourdieu and Valérie Lavigne, results have been impressive.
