This domaine started life in 1881 in the prestigious, if small and under the radar, appellation of Haut-Benauge in Bordeaux?s Entre-Deux-Mers region. It sold its wine in bulk to traders over the years until Olivier Cailleux?s parents began to estate bottle in 1974. Olivier himself was given the keys to the domaine in 1994; he is the sixth generation to manage the family affairs.
