Château Talbot - Caillou Blanc | Bordeaux Sec
White wine | France, BORDEAUX | 2022
A very good Caillou Blanc with wonderfully intense finessing on the aroma and on the attack. An intense sunflower yellow in colour, with some definite oak influencing on the palate. Surprised by quite how rich this is - undoubtedly a successful, powerful, layered Sauvignon character, but with a silky texture through the palate and good juicy lift on the finish.
