The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Acclaimed by critics around the world, Château Maucaillou has won over the most demanding wine lovers with its velvety and full style of wines. A wonderful ambassador of the Medoc region, the estate crafts masterful and tasty wines that Robert Parker does not hesitate to compare to a Grand Cru Classé (Classified First Growth)... No doubt in our minds, and palate, that it does deserve this distinction, if only its vineyard had been born before 1855!
Wine Built on fruity aromas and a nice energy, the 2016 Haut-Médoc de Maucaillou is a pleasure to drink. It is a perfect example of Bordeaux classicism, evolving between ripe fruit, smooth tannins, restrained power and a long finish. A universal red wine, to keep on hand for any occasion.
Vinification Mechanical harvesting, traditional vinification, ageing for a minimum of 18 months in barrels.
