Acclaimed by critics around the world, Château Maucaillou has won over the most demanding wine lovers with its velvety and full style of wines. A wonderful ambassador of the Medoc region, the estate crafts masterful and tasty wines that Robert Parker does not hesitate to compare to a Grand Cru Classé (Classified First Growth)... No doubt in our minds, and palate, that it does deserve this distinction, if only its vineyard had been born before 1855!
