About the estate:
Located in Mazères, in the Graves appellation, Caillivet is owned by the Carrillo family. In 1997, Philippe and his son Antoine created the vineyard on the family's land, planting 7 hectares of Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by a little Sauvignon and Sémillon for the white wine. The first harvest produced the 2001 vintage.

The wine is undrinkable. Perhaps there was a problem with transportation due to the high temperatures.
