Description
83% Sauvignon Blanc; 17% Sémillon.
Jean-Michel Laporte and his team have produced another impressive Caillou Blanc this year. Aged in 30% new oak and benefiting from increased bâtonnage, the wine displays a beautifully rounded texture on the palate, balanced by a firm, refreshing acidity. Bright notes of citrus and pear are layered with subtle hints of verbena. This well-crafted wine deserves a place at the dinner table.
Critics reviews
The 2024 Caillou Blanc Talbot was matured in 30% new oak and contains more Sauvignon Blanc this year (83%) due to a new parcel. It has a fresh nose with red apple, tangerine and light chamomile scents that unfold in the glass. The palate is well balanced with an attractive, slightly waxy texture and a fine bead of acidity, with a dash of lemongrass emerging on the finish. This should constitute fine early drinking.
About this wine
Bordeaux
Bordeaux is the centre of the fine wine world, renowned for its classically built, long-lived wines. Situated on the 45th parallel, its maritime climate provides mild winters and warm summers—ideal conditions for growing grapes of structure and finesse. Spanning over 120,000 hectares, this vast region is home to 10,000 producers and 57 appellations, with red wine—known traditionally as Claret—accounting for 88% of production.
