The B by Maucaillou 2019
Château Maucaillou is located in Moulis-en-Médoc , in the Bordeaux region. The Petit-Laroche family , wine merchants in the 19th century, had the Moulis cellars and warehouses built in 1871, in the geographical centre of Haut-Médoc. In 1875, J. Petit-Laroche married and offered his wife as a wedding gift the construction of a beautiful bourgeois residence opposite his Médoc cellars: the current Château. At the same time, J. Petit-Laroche created a new wine estate on one and a half hectares at the places called "Maucaillou" and "Caubet", which would take the name Château Maucaillou. "Maucaillou" means "bad stones", in the sense understood by farmers in the Middle Ages, because this type of gravelly land plot was unsuitable for any cereal cultivation, the main source of survival at the time. Later, it was realized that these gravelly ridges constituted a preferred terroir for highly expressive vineyards. The Château now belongs to the Dourthe family .
B de Maucaillou is a cuvée produced in the Bordeaux Supérieur appellation. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot vinified in stainless steel vats.
Grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot
