Varietal

White Bordeaux

France is widely known as being the home of many of the world's finest white wines, and within France, the name which rings out across the wine world and is always associated with excellence of quality and flavor is Bordeaux. The white wines of the magnificent Bordeaux region are typically blended, and rely on the winemaker's skill and expertise to achieve the fine balance between the primary grape varietals used. Most blended white Bordeaux wines are made up of Sauvignon Blanc, SÃ©millon and Muscadelle varietals, although there are actually nine grapes officially allowed by French wine law for the inclusion in Bordeaux white wines. The other six are Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, Ugni Blanc, Colombard, Ondenc and Mauzac, although the use of these other grapes has been in steady decline over the past century.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential. The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

James Suckling

Attractive and fresh, with green gooseberry, quince, subtle mineral and cream aromas. Bright and zesty, with a medium to full body and a lengthy finish. Drinkable now, but can hold for a few years.

WS 90pts

Wine Spectator

A generous style, with friendly notes of shortbread, meringue and lemon curd leading the way. The wet straw–tinged finish shows nice cut. Drink now through 2027. 800 cases made, 500 cases imported.

JD 90pts

Jeb Dunnuck

Medium to light gold-hued, the 2023 Château Picque Caillou Blanc offers exotic melon and subtle tropical fruits, honeyed flowers, and a kiss of chalky minerality. It's medium-bodied, bright, racy, and juicy, with a clean, balanced profile. All Sauvignon Blanc aged seven months on the lees in 30% new French oak, it will drink nicely over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2036.

Winery Notes

A blend of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Semillon picked between 3 and 11 September, this has a very attractive nose of lemon peel, apricot blossom and a faint touch of toffee apple. The palate is nicely balanced with subtle tropical notes on the entry, dried apricot and a touch of white peach that inform the spicy finish. This is a very good white from Pique-Caillou.
