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.

This estate, surrounded by the urban sprawl of Bordeaux, is an oasis of calm. This white, crisp and still young with citrus and spice aromas, has lemon and lightly herbal flavors. It has fine potential; drink from 2026.
92 - James Suckling
Attractive and fresh, with green gooseberry, quince, subtle mineral and cream aromas. Bright and zesty, with a medium to full body and a lengthy finish.
