Les Cailloux 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, Bordeaux White

Les Cailloux, 'the stones' in English, are present in many top Bordeaux vineyards. Carried along by the Garonne River, these stones favor a better drainage and force the vines deep into the soil to find their nutrients. Forced to search for resources, the plant will regulate fruit production resulting in berries with concentration of fruit and aromas; an essential requirement to produce refined and full bodied Bordeaux wines.

Les Cailloux Blanc is a negociant wine blended from various sources and we have it on good authority that the sources may include some barrels from a Medoc First Growth Chateau that also makes white wine. 100% Sauvignon Blanc aged 8 months in traditional French oak barrels.

The pure expression of Sauvignon Blanc grown on the greatest terroirs of Bordeaux where the most legendary growths are located. The bouquet is rich with citrus fruit, well ripened white peach and wild flower aromas, with an elegant hint of brioche and lemon curd.
