Product features : Chateau Real Caillou Cuvée Lectio 2019
In the mouth
A dense, well-balanced palate with crisp fruit character and savoury undertones. The tannins are present but integrated, providing structure without dominating. The finish is clean and persistent, with a pleasant mineral edge.
On the nose
An expressive bouquet dominated by dark cherry and plum, with secondary notes of graphite and dried herbs emerging as the wine opens. The aromatics are well-defined and persistent, reflecting the wine's underlying structure.
On the eye
Deep purple robe with good intensity, suggesting ripe fruit and careful extraction.
Breeding
Ageing in concrete vats. Bottling takes place 21 months after harvest.
This Cuvée Lectio represents the house's understanding of Lalande-de-Pomerol's potential. The 2019 is approachable now, with sufficient structure to warrant cellaring for a further five to seven years. A wine of genuine merit for those seeking character and authenticity rather than fashionable extraction.

CHATEAU REAL CAILLOU
Situated at Montagne in the Gironde, Château Real Caillou covers 10 hectares of graves and alluvial soils under the Bordeaux appellation, farmed at a disciplined 35 hl/ha and certified HVE. Managed by the Libourne-Montagne agricultural college since 1969, this château serves both as a working teaching estate for around 300 students each year and as a recognised red-wine producer, vinifying Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the consistency of its restrained yields, the integrity of its classic Bordeaux encépagement, and the rare seriousness of a project that unites vocational training with genuine quality ambition. A grounded, responsible Bordeaux with real character.
