BORDEAUX

This is so perfumed with aromas of jasmine, lavender, citrus peel, pineapple, melon, clove and juniper berry. It's medium-bodied with vibrant acidity.

The nose reveals notes of blackberry cream and cassis associated with slight notes of blueberry, wild strawberry, cherry, licorice as well as a hint of violet and sweet spices. The palate is fruity, fine, well-balanced and relatively elegant.

Powerful minerality runs through this wine, wrapping the primary flavors of blueberries into black fruits. There's also an herbal edge, the scent of rosemary . Drinking well now and can improve with ageing; surprisingly for a poor vintage.

The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin, crisp and focused with great tension and energy. A medium rated vintage that drinks really well now. Black currant, tabac and hints of forrest in the nose. Fine soft tannins on the palate.

This older Cabernet dominant vintage has well-preserved acidity, supple tannins, and elegant alder accents. Finish is long-lasting ⋅ Pleasant freshness ⋅ Well-preserved acidity.

Chateau Picque-Caillou is a vibrant red color. Intense nose of spices, red fruits and vanilla. Medium-bodied in the mouth with red cherries, cassis, and lightly grilled oak flavors. Silky tannins and nice long finish. Sustainable and organic practices.

A powerfully velvety wine, which still packs a walloping punch of Saint-Estèphe tannins. The fruit is pure, ripe, black and generous. But there is the proper dryness that shows how the team at Calon-Sègur tamed some of the excesses of the 2003 vintage.

Deep and intense crimson robe. Fine nose of ripe grapes, with elegant toasted and vanilla oak aromas confirmed in the mouth. Elegance, balance and harmony.
