2022, Château La Grave, AOC POMEROL

Bordeaux Blend: Merlot, Cabernet Franc.

The 2022 La Grave offers an attractive mix of fruit intensity and vibrancy, a pretty appealing combination, especially in this vintage. Gravel, dried flowers, mint, charcoal, licorice and spice meld into a core of dark-fleshed fruit. La Grave is deceptively medium in body, but it packs plenty of punch. 91-93 Antonio Galloni, Vinous.

Offering up aromas of minty blackberries, plum preserve and liquorice, the 2022 La Grave-Trigant-de-Boisset is medium to full-bodied, rich and fleshy, with a sweet, rather chunky palate that's built around powdery structuring tannins. 90-92 William Kelley, Wine Advocate.

Drinking Window: 2027 - 2037
