Château Caillou 2011 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
- Online Exclusive
93-95. Barrel sample. A ripe, balanced wine, with a structure that’s well-integrated into its rich, sweet fruit. It has an edge of spice and bitter-orange flavors to go with the opulent front texture.

90-92 Barrel sample. A rich, toffee aroma introduces a wine which is definitely sweet, with caramel and baked apple flavors. It is ripe, freshened by acidity, but generally richly sweet.

Château Caillou 2009 Barrel sample White (Barsac)

90-92 Barrel sample. Complex wine, its botrytis character very dominant, heady, so concentrated it is almost dry. This is dense, very rich in character.

Château Caillou 2005 Barrel sample White (Barsac)
- Online Exclusive
89-91 Barrel sample. Attractive lemon marmalade aromas already make this wine appealing. The palate, too, shows charm and elegance, with just a touch of new wood complexity. A complete wine, which seems to be coming together already.

Château Caillou 2004 Barrel sample White (Sauternes)
87-89 Quite soft, unfocussed, but also quite full-bodied, this seems to have strayed from the hot 2003. Good botrytis shows through.

Château Caillou 2006 White (Sauternes)
- Online Exclusive
An almost medicinal, tart wine that certainly has the dry texture of botrytis, but then shows more in the way of a herbal character.
