Château Caillivet

Château Caillivet is owned by the Carrillo family and is located in Mazères, 35 km southeast of Bordeaux. The Château Caillivet estate was founded in 1997 by Philippe and his son Antoine on the family’s land. The first AOC Graves vintage was produced in 2001.

The Château Caillivet vineyard comprises 7 hectares of vines on clay-gravel soil. The vines are cultivated with the utmost care: no chemical fertilizers are used; suckering and leaf removal are done by hand; and green harvesting is practiced to limit yields. The grapes are harvested by hand, with three successive sorting stages in the vineyard and in the winery. This level of precision and rigor gives Château Caillivet’s AOC Graves wines their suppleness and elegance, as well as a rich, indulgent character.
