CAILLOU BLANC
Dry white wine from Château Talbot
- 2024 Futures
- Bordeaux dry white
Based on Sauvignon (with a hint of Semillon), Caillou Blanc has been presented for 50 years as the archetype of Médoc dry white wine: pale colour, between delicate freshness and aromatic distinction (lemon, bitter orange, honeysuckle), never too full or demonstrative. A model of elegance, never too lavish or ostentatious, and always reasonably priced.
Vinous (N. Martin): 89/100 "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 nore 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 constitue fine early drinking."
