gives the wine slightly softer edges than what is normal for young Nebbiolo wine

It was bottled in January 2022

and it matured with the lees in the fermentation vessels for 10 months

mineral- and spice-accented aromas of ripe red fruits and candied flowers

framed by grainy tannins and just enough freshness

Chateau Talbot Caillou Blanc, Bordeaux, France 2022 Mendoza gives the wine slightly softerThe 2022 Caillou Blanc Talbot was picked 31 August to 5 September, aged in 40% new oak. Lively on the nose, it offers lemon verbena, lemon thyme and white peach scents on the nose. The palate is well balanced with an attractive waxy texture, more pithy than recent vintages with a spicy, stem ginger tinged finish. Thoroughly enjoyable.
