Vintage Report

2016 was een buitengewone jaargang voor Bordeaux, beoordeeld met 97 punten door Robert Parker. De omstandigheden waren ideaal, wat resulteerde in wijnen met een uitstekende balans en rijpingspotentieel.
For this red wine from Les Allees du Château la Grave, we travel to one of France's most famous wine regions: the Médoc in Bordeaux. This wine region is known for its beautiful, classic wines that are progressive in quality and suppleness. This also applies to the wines from Château la Grave. The winery produces Médoc wines with abundant fruitiness and softness, while retaining the region's classic aromas and flavors. Recent years have been crucial for the winery, as they have invested heavily in a new winery and vineyard maintenance. All of this has now translated into this incredible price for this wine. And we've often wondered how this is possible. As the winemaker explains, this quality is only possible through immense hard work and care.

The old Medoc vineyard of Les Allees du Chateau la Grave

The vineyards of Château la Grave Rose are beautifully situated in the Médoc region. They are filled with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes that complement each other perfectly. The grapes thrive in the perfect environment, with abundant sunshine and a cool breeze from the Gironde Estuary providing the perfect balance. This allows the grapes to ripen very evenly and soak up the rich soil structure. The 25-year-old vineyard contributes to the quality of the harvest, which is harvested in the morning.

The scent and taste of the Chateau la Grave Medoc

For this price point, this is a truly classic wine with all the joy that entails. The Château la Grave Medoc boasts a beautiful, deep ruby ​​red color. The bouquet offers aromas of red fruit, light spices, vanilla, and some earthy notes. On the palate, it's a velvety-smooth wine with a pleasant freshness that's perfectly balanced. Ripe flavors of red and black fruit complemented by a light spiciness. The finish is ripe and has lovely soft tannins, making it easy to drink.
