“This is a very well-crafted Moulis that should be a real delight once bottled! ~ Vinous”
“Deep purple color with violet highlights and a black core. An expressive nose with aromas of ripe blackberries and black stone fruits, along with notes of gingerbread spices and roasted notes. On the palate, the wine is well-balanced, with a velvety texture and a beautifully compelling finish. ” (Markus Del Monego 2026)

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 features 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.

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 localities of Caubet and Maucaillou (“bad rock”), 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.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 90-92/100
About the wine:
Maucaillou 2025 took a while to open up in the glass, eventually revealing aromas of blackberry, raspberry, very subtle hints of licorice, and a touch of iodine. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, with supple tannins, impressive depth, lovely acidity, and a fairly long, well-defined finish. This is a very well-crafted Moulis that should be a delight once bottled. 2030–2050
