    The wine

    Chateau Caillou features a straw colour with gold hints, developing concentrated aromas of tropical fruits and honey. These wines emerge as delicate, elegant and full-bodied on the palate. It is also possible to feel the minerality from Barsac. The liquor level is moderate for the appellation (about 150g/litre). These wines show good capacity to improve with age.
