Wines of Graves

Cradle of the greatest dry whites of Bordeaux, those of Pessac-Léognan are very expressive. A true aromatic palette combining yellow fruits, acacia flower, grapefruit and fresh mango defines the wines, to which aging in barrels brings even more complexity. Both ample and thirst-quenching, some even show magnificent mineral expressions.

When it comes to red wines, the balance also resonates. Generally more supple and accessible in their youth, they could be presented as being halfway between the most accessible wines of Libournais and the more austere and elegant of Médoc. They generally contain more Merlot than the latter, which makes the analogy even more relevant. To this profile will also be added an aromatic nuance that may be reminiscent of smoke.

Fly over the Graves and Pessac-Léognan regions to discover their main characteristics in a short video produced by the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux.
