Château Caillivet - 2010 Cuvée Futs de Chêne

Château Caillivet - Cuvée Futs de Chêne 2010

Graves|Red wine

3.8/5 (5 customers)

Note: Laarson & Del Monego 90/100
This lovely Bordeaux opens with notes of red fruit, spices, and delicate oak. A peppery note enhances the hints of blackcurrant, raspberry, and cherry. The attack is lively, and the wine then develops a beautiful structure on the palate, with a finish of good length. A very pleasant red!

About the estate:

Located in Mazères, in the Graves appellation, Caillivet is owned by the Carrillo family. In 1997, Philippe and his son Antoine established the vineyard on the family’s land—7 hectares planted on clay-gravel soils; the grape varieties include Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by a small amount of Sauvignon and Sémillon for the white wines. The first harvest produced the 2001 vintage.
