Tasting notes
The 2015 Caillou Blanc de Talbot has an attractive butterscotch, white peach and almond-scented bouquet that is well defined and already quite generous. The palate is fresh on the entry with a pleasant waxy texture. However, I found a slight bitterness on the back palate and the finish seems to undo the good work of the nose, with a slight metallic taint on the aftertaste. Hopefully that will be addressed during élevage.

Quality has not necessarily always lived up to this property’s Fourth Growth status, however there have been significant improvements in recent years, with a sustainable focus in the vineyard, and new winery and cellar.
