Château Côtes du Gros Caillou

Château Côtes du Gros Caillou is located in Saint-Sulpice-de-Faleyrens, in one of eight districts of the Saint-Emilion appellation. A number of Saint-Emilion Grands Crus lie within its immediate vicinity, including Château Monbousquet, the most illustrious. Its name evokes the soils – made up of small stones (“Caillou”) – which are the hallmark of the vineyard, including several exceptional plots of pure gravel.

Since 1960, the Tourenne family manages the Château’s old vines with meticulous care, with many manual canopy management techniques, to extract all the richness and concentration. Just like the finest Crus of the appellation, the wines are matured for several months in oak barrel. Château Côtes du Gros Caillou displays the elegance and refined character, with the intensity that singles out the very finest Saint-Emilion wines.
