At Château Maucaillou, history has been written for centuries as expertise is refined.

The vineyard

Château Maucaillou 2023 is a Moulis wine from a 62-hectare vineyard. The vines, which are over 30 years old on average, are planted on soils composed of guntzian gravel, clay and limestone.

The vintage

An early bud burst precedes a summer whose relatively cool and humid conditions slow down the vine's development. Harvesting was carried out under brilliant sunshine, allowing for the collection of healthy, fully mature grapes.

Vinification and ageing

Manual (20%) and mechanical (80%) harvesting is followed by manual sorting in the winery. Vinification is accompanied by daily pumping over. Racking after tasting. Ageing is carried out in barrels (40% new, 40% one wine and 20% two wines).

Blend

Cabernet Sauvignon (56%)
Merlot (39%)
Petit Verdot (5%).
