Slightly dull ruby. Fresh, relatively simple aromas reminiscent of Cabernet Franc. Ripe, sweet start and then a bit inky. Hollow finish. (JR)

Minerally and dry – very different from most. This wine almost hides its oak ageing. Super appetising. In a Bordeaux context it's distinctive but in a global context not. Could be an aperitif. Maybe that it its destiny. (JR)
About the producer

Picque Caillou
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.
