It even gives the impression of having seen the barrel, even though it was only aged in vats" (Le Guide des bonnes affaires du vin 2015 - Gerbelle & Maurange).

Expert opinion
Guide des Vins Gault & Millau
Domaine rated 1*Star (Serious production)
About the domain :
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 land, 7 hectares planted on clay-gravel soils; the grape varieties used are Merlot (60%) and Cabernet Sauvignon - complemented by a little Sauvignon and Semillon in the white. The first harvests produced the 2001 vintage.

About the wine:
This wine, aged exclusively in vats, reveals toasty notes on the nose and palate. It's a concentrated red, marked by a rich body and prominent black fruit notes. Excellent value for money. Drink between 2017 and 2022.
