Description
Made mainly from Sauvignon grapes, enriched with a portion of Sémillon, Caillou Blanc is aged in barrels on its lees with Burgundian-style stirring. The wine is very aromatic, marked by exotic notes. It will be enjoyed at the table rather than as an aperitif!

The 2020 Caillou de Talbot Blanc, bottled a month prior to my visit, has a pretty lime and grapefruit scented nose. Hints of white tea emerge with time. The palate is well balanced with almond and caramelized pear notes, a touch of stem ginger emerging with time. Quite spicy, somehow, I can imagine this partnering Asian food with style thank to a scintilla of Muscat lingering on the aftertaste.

Offers a hint of wax that helps carry a core of lemon curd, gooseberry gelee and verbena notes along, with an echo of thyme on the friendly finish. A crowd-pleaser. Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Drink now through 2023. 2,083 cases made, 900 cases imported.
