Château Les Gravettes, Bordeaux Supérieur 2008

Finding small mature Bordeaux parcels is what we are all about. And a 2008 is a great find. Even in pandemic and lockdown times the search goes on and this is a rarity - mature, delicious Bordeaux.

How does the wine taste?
For a wine of this age, there is a remarkable brightness and freshness here - ripe blackcurrant and plum flavours very much to the fore, with an appealing perfumed character on the nose. A touch of grip, and a hint of spice, but soft and luscious in texture and fruit-forward. Made from 70% merlot hence the plumpness, with cabernet adding a touch of depth and structure.
