\r\n \r\nThe terroir of Graves wines offers an ideal microclimate for vines. The area planted with red grape varieties has been growing steadily since the 1950s. The Graves appellation covers more than 3,800 hectares. Annual production amounts to 170,000 hectolitres, 2/3 of which are Graves red wines. The remaining third is divided between dry white Graves (32,000 hectolitres) and Graves Supérieurs (11,000 hectolitres). \r\n \r\n Graves red wines benefit from a well-balanced grape variety, with Cabernet providing aroma and structure and Merlot perfume and suppleness. Depending on the vintage and the property, they reach their peak between 5 and 10 years. The dry white wines of the Graves appellation are elegant and fleshy. Made with Sémillon, they develop notes of wax and honey, as well as a natural fatness that doesn't exclude freshness. Blended with Sauvignon grapes, known for their liveliness and expressiveness, Graves white wines bring out citrus aromas, sometimes accompanied by exotic or minty notes. Aged in barrel, they gain in richness and complexity after a few years. Graves Supérieures are mellow white wines with a pronounced bouquet and great length on the palate. Golden yellow in color, they are characterized by a harmony of acidity and mellowness, and develop aromatic notes of toast, honey and sometimes dried fruit. Notable among the many Graves crus are Château Respide-Médeville and Château Méjean. \r\n","More information on the ","Buy the best Graves wines in private sale!","Rated site","19798 notices","Free on your 1st order*.","20€","Access to sales!","Discover our selection of the best Graves wine producers","Château Caillivet","Château Chanteloiseau","Château Tourte des Graves","Clos Floridène","Lionne Castle","Château Crabitey","Château Respide-Médeville","Château Haut Reys","See all estates","Our latest sales of Graves wines","|","White wine","freshness","voltage","ready to drink","inescapable","\"With its magnificent texture, this is one of the best vintages I can remember tasting! ~ Vinous \"","\"Château Chantegrive's top-of-the-range white.

The Graves AOC, which dates back to 1937, extends over a 50 km strip on the left bank of the Garonne, south of Bordeaux. The entire Graves vineyard, from Bordeaux to Langon, can produce Graves appellation wines, but the bulk of Graves wines come from the area between La Brède and Langon, bypassing the Barsac and Sauternes appellations. The soil is made up of alluvial deposits from the Quaternary era, brought in by the river. This mantle of pebbles and cobbles rests on a sandy substratum, or even on pure sand or alios (ferrous sand concretion), from which the vines draw the nutrients they need to produce great wines.
