Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2020 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Picque-Caillou is one of the last properties located in the heart of the Bordeaux metropolitan area: 21 hectares of beautiful stony terroir, as its name suggests. In 2006, Paulin Calvet took over the reins of this family vineyard. Drawing on his experience at Moueix, he set about restoring the reputation of this beautiful vineyard, supported in this endeavor by the late Denis Dubourdieu and now by Dubourdieu's team. It is fair to say that he has succeeded in recent vintages, as the wines are constantly improving. Here, the emphasis is on elegance, purity of fruit, expression of the terroir, and balance. The estate deserves a second star.
