In a few words ...
Château Chantegrive is an essential Graves property, benefiting from a terroir of rolled gravel and fine sand. At the helm since 1966, the Lévêque family has chosen top oenologist Hubert de Boüard to oversee vinification since 2006. He applies the same expertise as at his own estates, including the prestigious Château Angelus in Saint-Emilion. With an equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Chantegrive's reds have a modern, charming profile. James Suckling ( 93 )
"Classic in its ruby-tinted Bordeaux color, this wine remains discreet in its expression, but interesting for the variety of aromas ranging from fresh to stewed fruit. Very well balanced, it has volume, without ever losing its delicate character."
Tasting notes
Appearance
The wines have a dense but lighter robe than the medoc. The hue is ruby with a touch ranging from purple to brick depending on the evolution.
Aroma
The bouquet is often fruity, with currant and other red and black fruits to which are added smoked or roasted notes.
Wine Floral | Fruity | Spicy
Taste
Composed on average of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the red wines of Pessac-Léognan make a good compromise between marked tannins and the greediness of the fruit. We thus find red and ripe fruits, and empyreumatic notes.
