Caillou Crème de Tête always seems to show a svelte, fresh profile and the 59 is no exception. Fresh citrus and mineral without much fat keep this light and linear. Caramel and acacia add nice complexity on the palate and though this won't astound, it really does hit the spot today.

Château Château Caillou
Château Caillou

Château Caillou is a Bordeaux wine estate that produces only sweet white wines. The Château and vineyard are located in the commune of Barsac. The vineyard covers nearly 13 hectares in a single block. The name of the château comes from its subsoil, which consists of a clay-limestone plateau covered with red sand sheltering slabs and rocks, thus giving the wine great finesse. Château Caillou is classified as a Second Growth in the 1855 Sauternes Classification.

The best vintages of Château Caillou are the 1929 vintage, great growths of 1959, the 1967 wines, the 1979 vintage and the 1989 vintage.
