Caillou Blanc 2019

A typical fine white Bordeaux wine by Chateau Talbot

The estate
A 4th Classified Growth of Saint-Julien, Chateau Talbot is one of the iconic references of Haut-Medoc. Acquired by Desire Cordier in 1918, Chateau Talbot is today managed by Nancy Bignon-Cordier and her husband, Jean-Paul Bignon.

The vineyard
The Chateau Talbot vineyard is a real treasure, covering 110 hectares of vines all in one piece, in the heart of the Saint-Julien appellation. These vines have an ideal location on the edge of the Gironde estuary, planted on ridges of Medoc gravel and alluvial deposits. 5.2 hectares of the Chateau Talbot vineyard are dedicated to the production of white wines.

The wine
Caillou Blanc by Chateau Talbot pays tribute to Georges Cordier, who had the idea of replanting white grape varieties in the Médoc at the end of the 1930s. Featuring a blend of sauvignon blanc and Semillon, Caillou Blanc by Chateau Talbot invites you to discover a beautiful dry white expression of Bordeaux in a wine with great aromatic freshness and fantastic liveliness on the palate.

The winemaking
100% in barrels, 30 of which are new oak.

The blend
Sauvignon blanc (76%), sémillon (24%).
