Wine Enthusiast
“With considerable potential, this wine is firm, ripe, and bursting
with black fruit. The structure and fruit are already in harmony.”
(Wine Enthusiast 2019)
The palate is medium-bodied
for an immediate, indulgent pleasure. The finish reveals a
beautiful depth, unveiling subtly spicy notes. Delivered in a
wooden case for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (excluding
Pickup Point delivery) A great success!

Rated estate (2021 guide) 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
Located near the Moulis train station, Château Maucaillou boasts a rather unusual architectural style, blending Renaissance and 18th-century elements. Owned by the Dourthe family since 1929, Pascal, with the help of his two sisters, Magali and Caroline, took over the reins in 2007, continuing the work begun by their father, Philippe. Since the 2009 vintage, Magali has changed the style of the wines; they are now smoother and more modern than in the past, while remaining robust and suitable for aging.
Guide Hachette des vins
Rated estate (2020 guide) Award-winning wines (This producer’s wines regularly receive awards from the guide)
About the estate:
A flagship wine from Moulis, established in 1875 in the Caubet and Maucaillou (meaning “bad rock”) vineyards—a gravelly hilltop unsuitable for growing grain for medieval farmers, but ideal for vines. Owned by the Dourthe family since 1929, this estate has grown from 3.5 hectares at that time to 90 hectares today. Philippe Dourthe, the current owner, has entrusted its management to his three children.
