Winemaker Notes
The name Caillou refers to pebbles, reflecting the fact that this was once riverbed, when the river Garonne overflowed millions of years ago. The characteristic elegance and finesse of this wine is attributed to its free-draining, gravelly soil and subsoil. Lovely, gentle grassiness and wet-stone minerality, with enough weight to give this real substance. A great example of white Bordeaux wine.
Critical Acclaim
WE 93
Wine Enthusiast
Mainly Sauvignon Blanc with a soupçon of Sémillon, this wine has lemon freshness along with a floral character. The oaking has performed its smoothing magic while retaining the youthful fruitiness. The wine needs to age for several years. Wait to drink from 2024.
Cellar Selection

James Suckling
This has aromas of grapefruit, lemons, green apples and flint. Subtle nutmeg. Fresh and driven, with a medium body and plenty of tension. Mineral and fresh finish.?
