2004 Château Picque Caillou

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more

4/1/2024 - Neecies Likes this wine: NR

In a delightful place right now and a great upside surprise compared to previous bottles. Pnp'd and drunk over two-three hours. Mature Bordeaux nose of old books and bandaids with baked fruit and lightly roasted coffee beans.

Interesting to compare with Château Leroy-Beauval 2022 blanc which is also 100% sauvignon blanc with some oak. Picque Caillou is lighter but also more layered and with more oak. In some way it is even better in its crispness.

Rubinrot. Expressiv, feiner Duft, steinig kühl, sehr klar. Im Gaumen straff, jedoch mit reifer, knackiger Frucht, die Tannine sind fein, reif, balanciert und elegant, mit sehr schöner Länge. Ein top gelungener Wein, Bravo! 2025-2038 (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

Blasses Gelb. Feinduftig und würzig, sehr expressiv, mit steinigen Noten und floralen Tönen, spannend. Im Gaumen frisch, knackig, würzig, sehr schöne Balance aus Frucht und Säure, fruchtbetonter Abgang mit salzigem Finish. (Verkostet im November 2023 in Zürich bei UGCB)

2/21/2024 - Tomportwine Likes this wine: 90 points

Delicious medium body bord. Dark red fruit and background notes of brioche and leeche with moderate acidity, and nice dusty tannins. Only needs an hour after opening to be ready. just delicious. Enjoyed with some Roquefort cheese but would pair with steak, burgers or roast beef.

2016 Château Picque Caillou

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more

2/3/2024 - kkleg Likes this wine: 90 points

Classic Bordeaux nose, with prominent cedar and graphite notes. These notes also dominate the palate. There's an odd metallic note on the finish, which takes away a point or two. Probably not going to improve, but should keep another 3-4 years.

Pessac-Léognan Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc Blend more

1/26/2024 - platpeeps Likes this wine: 91 points

Never over-fruited, this still had a heady mix of passion fruit and white grapefruit overlying a delightful spine of acidity. Developing a waxy silky texture it remained savoury, but also had a little minerality on a lingering dry finish. A fine-boned structure demonstrated perfect weight and balance. A really super wine drinking beautifully. CHP 91pts

2019 Château Picque Caillou

Pessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/19/2024 - jour-et-nuit wrote: NR

First bottle of an OWC-12. Okay, too young but too curious to try and find out what quality was put in the bottle this time (2019).
Well, this is fine stuff made in Mérignac in the very north of P.-L.; in fact the last producer in this municipality having survived the urban development/threat of Greater Bordeaux.
PnP and then drunk over several hours.
Dark red color, fine classical nose, good structure and texture. The finish is still somewhat short but the wine surely will improve with some more years in bottle.
PQR more than excellent at 16,50€/bottle (special offer) in 2023-08.
With no caveat a rebuy.

10/6/2023 - DK Amateur Likes this wine: NR

Briefly noted from a bottle used for a tasting two days ago. Very clearly a sauvignon blanc but now with the added bonus of a wooden foundation (there is about 1/3 barrique involved): this works wonderfully well because it is so crisp and persistent. I love this wine!

Drank this wine in summer '23 with crab cakes. Really nice wine, but what a crazy price. I only bought it because I had a $50 gift certificate. A heavily oaked sauvignon blanc. No place that I know of treats a sauv. blanc this way besides bordeaux. I would love to have a few more, but not at the going price of $50 something per bottle.

Very classic nose with tobacco and earth and excellent presence, Lots of freshness and presence in the mouth, quite primary of course, and even a little bit raw or rough in a way that was most pleasing and promising. In its own way lovely now, very good future.

Nose marked by clear but discrete notes of sauvignon blanc, Very convincing in the mouth with good body (and only 12.5% ABV) and a creamy texture while remaining crisp and fresh. Good future. Still delicious on the second day.

5/20/2023 - Barolo Raymond Likes this wine: 92 points

Deepest ruby, black core - restrained inviting aromas of black fruit, lovage, licorice, and pencil shavings.
An explosion of delight: blackberry, licorice, Dutch drop, wood notes wrapped in luscious fresh acidity and ripe tannins. Medium(+) body, elegant, clean. Firmly structured with a focused and long finish, minutes
I opened this later at night and this P-L knocked me off my socks.
93+ - an developing.

Medium-bodied, soft, and roundly-textured, the red fruits are sweet, fresh, and forward, so you can enjoy this on release and for the next 10-12 years after release. Drink from 2025-2035. 90-92 Pts.

4/23/2023 - chatters wrote: NR

En Primeur campaign for the 2022 vintage Day Two (Bordeaux): Red and black fruit, slightly ashy notes, sweet spice, touch of baked earth. In the mouth it's juicy, fleshy, fruit is present but, in combination with the drying tannins, quite bitter. There is a sense of denseness and a little foursquare quality. Hmm
