Château Caillou - Private Cuvée 1997
The wine
This cuvée is only produced in the very best years from old vines. Only 300 bottles of this long-lasting, concentrated wine are made.
The Ballan-Bravo family owns this discreet and remarkable Château de Barsac, second classified growth in 1855. 90% of the 15 hectares are Semillon grapes and 10% are Sauvignon. The vines are very old and have an impressive level.
