我们的历史
Château Caillou is classified as a « Second Grand Cru Classé » of the famous 1855 classification of Sauternes and Barsac. But first and foremost, Château Caillou is a family estate since 1909 !
In 1909, Joseph Ballan buys the Château at auction. His only daughter, Reine Ballan, continues her father’s work with great passion and devotion, with her husband Joseph Bravo by her side. Their daughter, Marie José, already quite involved in Château Caillou, becomes the owner in 1997, as well helped by her husband. Today, we, Sébastien and Jean-Noël Pierre, are proud to represent the fourth generation of vintners and owners of the family.
Château Caillou is situated on the high plateau of Barsac, where is gathered the most ancient and renowned estates of the appellation. Our terroir is quite rich : clay-limestone subsoil, covered by a bed of red sand and dotted with small rocks called « graves » on the surface. We produce wines that are reflecting the terroir of Barsac : great freshness and minerality, delicate aromas, and most importantly less opulent and heavy compared to the typical Sauternes wine.
Among the 18 hectares (44,5 acres) we tend, 13 hectares (32 acres) are surrounding the Château, protected by old stone walls. We produce our Sauternes and sparkling wine only with Semillon, and we keep the freshness of our Sauvignon Blanc for our dry white wine. Our vineyard is conducted in sustainable agriculture, and we are currently working to acquire the High Environmental Value Level 3 label.
Whether you are a wine lover or a beginner, we will welcome you at the estate with great conviviality and authenticity. All our visits are private to ensure a true moment of sharing and complicity.

Super visite conviviale et très bon sauterne ! A refaire et à recommander !
Great family estate, great experience, great value!
Une visite très agréable dans un cadre familial, un savoir-faire et une authenticité fortement ressentie. Un vin délicieux , je recommande la visite à quiconque s’intéresse à Bordeaux, au Sauternes, ou souhaite simplement passer un bon moment éducatif et dégustatif. La visite n\'est d\'ailleurs pas chère pour la dégustation et la visite proposée.
