Château Caillou is a small estate ideally located in the commune of Sauternes, in Gironde. The vineyard, which measures approximately 6 hectares, consists of Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle grape varietals and has been dedicated to the production and maturation of sweet white wines for over 7 generations. Since its foundation in 1822, the vineyard of this estate has been passed down from father to son throughout the generations and is committed to promoting traditional production methods to produce typical wines from the Bordeaux terroir. The vines of Château Caillou are hand-harvested and vinified in wooden vats, with a mix of indigenous yeasts and chosen specifically for this wine region. The vineyard extends over a wooded hill and offers an extraordinary view of the Gironde river and the surrounding lands. The high daytime temperatures that characterize the summer and the freshness that sets in during the nights, are ideal for producing sweet white wine and offer the winemaker the opportunity to control the maturation of the selected grapes, which are then harvested to perfection. Château Caillou produces a magnificent Sauternes which embodies the terroir and knowledge of this winemaking house for over 200 years. These appreciated wines oppose a perfect balance between acidity and sugar to offer a unique tasting experience. They are often described as sweet, fresh and tangy with aromas of citrus, exotic fruits and honey. Château Caillou is a vineyard estate that deserves to be discovered for its rich history and original viticulture, and knows how to offer us quality wines.
