Caillou Blanc is Château Talbot’s rare dry white from Saint-Julien, a pioneering Médoc blanc created in the 1930s from mostly Sauvignon Blanc with a touch of Sémillon grown on gravel soils. Vinified and aged in barrel on its lees with Burgundian-style bâtonnage, it is typically aromatic and lively yet finely textured, showing citrus, stone-fruit and floral notes over a racy, mineral spine. This is a gastronomic white Bordeaux—elegant rather than opulent—designed more for the table than for casual aperitif sipping.
