Château Les Gravières, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 2008

Description

This 2008 vintage of the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Château Les Gravières displays good, ripe fruit notes on the nose which is characteristic of this full-bodied wine. It has ample acidity with sweet tannins that are still a bit grippy and a good complexity of red berries, with hints of pine and earth.

This 2008 vintage of the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Château Les Gravières displays good, ripe fruit notes on the nose which is characteristic of this full-bodied wine. It has ample acidity with sweet tannins that are still a bit grippy and a good complexity of red berries, with hints of pine and earth. This is a very dense, 100% Merlot wine that has undergone no fining or filtering of any kind and which was produced from only 60% of the yield of the 2010 vintage (27 hl/ha compared with 43hl/ha). Only 1400 cases was made of this wine. The abv is 13%. A great food wine especially recommended with roast lamb or beef.

This is still a comparatively young wine which will improve with further ageing with a projected drinking window until 2021 at least.
