Ch Picque Caillou

Château Picque Caillou was built in 1780 in what was then the countryside outside of Bordeaux, but has now become part of the expanding city of Bordeaux. The illustrious Château Haut-Brion is just a few hundred meters away (about a 15-minute walk). In fact, it is one of the few estates, along with its neighbors Haut-Brion and Pape Clément, that have resisted urban development and preserved their exceptional terroir to produce remarkable wines. The Pessac-Léognan appellation, created in 1987, is reserved for some of the most prestigious estates in the renowned Graves region. Isabelle and Paulin Calvet took over the management of the estate in 1995 and acquired it in 1997, bringing renewed energy and vision to the property. Following the initial involvement of the renowned winemaker Denis Dubourdieu, his associate Valérie Lavigne succeeded him as consulting oenologist. Today, Picque Caillou produces outstanding wines that receive awards and critical acclaim every year.

More recently, the estate was acquired by Laurent Marti, president of Union Bordeaux Bègles (UBB), marking a new chapter in its history, alongside the appointment of Peggy Plouhinec as the new Commercial Director.
