Created in 1966, Château de Chantegrive is a member of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. This forward-looking family estate in the Graves is run with passion and precision to produce wines that are a must in the Bordeaux region.
Chantegrive's 160 vineyard plots stretch over 36 hectares in the heart of the Graves. The vines are around twenty years old and are planted on a terroir of gravel, pebbles and fine sand on clay-limestone soil. The vineyards are carefully tended according to the principles of sustainable viticulture.
The wine is fleshy and powerful when young, becoming velvety and full-bodied as the years go by. The clay-limestone subsoil provides balance. The two key grape varieties, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, combine freshness and finesse. On the nose and palate, wild red fruit and ripe black fruit dominate, mixed with spices to finish on a touch of freshness.
