Chateau Talbot Caillou Blanc (2022)

Château Talbot crafts one of the Médoc’s rare and most admired whites: Caillou Blanc, a vibrant Bordeaux Blanc that blends Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for a style that’s both aromatic and refined. The wine shows off bright citrus, yellow plum, and orchard‑fruit character, with subtle notes of smoke and minerality that come from Talbot’s gravel soils and partial barrel aging. Thanks to lees stirring and a thoughtful balance of Sauvignon’s lift with Sémillon’s texture, Caillou Blanc is crisp yet silky, refreshing yet structured — a versatile white that shines with seafood, soft cheeses, or simply a warm Florida evening. It’s a beautiful expression of Talbot’s elegance in a completely different register from their reds.

Fresh and vibrant, the 2022 Château Talbot Caillou Blanc reveals aromas of citrus zest, white peach, and jasmine, with a subtle hint of wet stone. The palate is crisp and textured, showcasing lively acidity and a mineral-driven finish. This modern, elegant white Bordeaux beautifully balances richness with refreshing clarity.

Blend: 71 % Sauvignon Blanc, 29 % Sémillon
