Grand Cru Classé de Graves

Red
Andrea Perrin told us how much he admired the vines’ ability to deal with the hot and dry growing season, slowing down its vegetative cycle so that it would have enough energy to fully ripen its grapes. Made from a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot,5% Cabernet Franc and 5% Petit Verdot, Andrea was especially pleased to see how well the Merlot grapes performed. There is a lovely buzz of energy with lots of juicy, spicy berry flavours: the ripe sweetness of the Merlot, well complemented with the elegant, tannic structure of the Cabernets. This is a rich, complete, virile wine with a very attractive trail of red fruit in the finish.

It is thanks to the efforts of André Lurton, one of the best-known growers in the area, that the appellation was formed. ...
