Description
In a nutshell:
A smooth and elegant, biodynamic Bordeaux from the Côtes de Bourg.
The lowdown:
Chateau Les Graves de Viaud occupies 15ha of hillsides in the heart of the Côtes de Bourg on Bordeaux Right Bank. They are Demeter certified and have been practising biodynamic viticulture since 2010, no ploughing takes place in the vineyards, the use of sulphur is minimal, and a large scale tree planting programme is taking place on the estate to enhance biodiversity. Their 'Terroir' is a blend of 40% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot aged for 18 months in large oak barrels and from the excellent 2016 vintage. This is a brilliant expression of the land, the fruit and a subtle approach to winemaking. An abundance of fresh, ripe red and dark fruit aromas lead onto a rich, smooth and elegant palate with those ripe fruits and that freshness really coming through. Well integrated tannins and a juicy, long finish round out this cracking red Bordeaux.
When to drink:
Great with simple steak frites or sausages, or try with richer duck dishes, roast lamb or mild brie or camembert cheeses.
Suitable for Vegans, Biodynamic
