ChateauLaGraveFigeac,Saint-EmilionGrandCru

<p>Beautiful Merlot and Cabernet Franc blend, part of which come from vines over a century old. Deep purple in colour, it gives whiffs of plum and sweet berries, with a hint of vanilla. On the palate, it’s silky and lush, with notes of more dark fruit, coffee and a hint of tobacco. The tannins are smooth on this one, and the finish is surprisingly fresh.</p><p>Laurent Clauzel has been working his vineyards organically since the the mid-2000s, wanting to extract as much potential as possible from the terroir, with a gentle approach before and during vinification. The lands span between Cheval Blanc, Figeac and La Conseillante, right on the border with Pomerol. A particular trait of this location is the presence of a little iron within the soil, which also mingles faintly in the wines, along with the terroir-unique truffle flavour.</p><p>Origin: St. Emillion, Bordeaux, FranceVintage: 2019Grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet FrancFood pairings: Lean beef, venison, mushrooms, roasted vegetablesBottle size: 75clABV: 13%</p><p>ORGANIC </p>
