The Estate

Château Maucaillou is a vineyard of 90 hectares in the heart of the appellation Moulis, between its prestiguous neighbours – Margaux and Saint Julien.
“MAUCAILLOU” means “mauvais cailloux”, the French for bad stone, as the term was understood by the farmers of the middle ages, given that this type of gravel plot was not suitable for growing cereal, the main source of livelihood at the time. It was later discovered that such gravel outcrops constituted an ideal terroir for highly expressive vineyards.
Such were the beginnings of MAUCAILLOU, an exceptionally talented vineyard, given that since 1889 its wines have constantly been in the limelight throughout the world, often reffered as a non-official Grand Cru Classé.

Blend

55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot

Tasting Notes

Wine Advocate-Parker : 89 / 100
Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Maucaillou has a savory/meaty nose with notions of smoked meats, blackcurrants and cherries. Medium-bodied, the palate is juicy with a little grip of chewy tannins.
