AOC GRAVES RED

A nose with notes of red fruit and subtle spices. In the mouth, we find greedy notes of cherry slightly minty, smoky spices. A gourmet wine, round very signed by its Graves terroir.

The 2018 vintage was a real test of patience.
The first 6 months of the year were dominated by incessant rainfall and mild temperatures. The weather then changed radically on the 15 th of July, marking the start of a hot summer with periods of drought.  The harvest period stretched from late August to late October, with the grapes reaching excellent levels of maturity. This exceptionally long and rain-free harvest period allowed us to fine-tune our picking operations. In the cellar the juices proved to be very consistent, with a beautiful colour. This was an unusual year with extreme conditions, but in the end it turned out to be an excellent vintage.

A year that blew hot and cold…
Everything started out well. Bud break was even and took place three weeks earlier than usual–harbinger of a good vintage in Bordeaux.
However, two nights with frost did damage throughout the region, and our estate was not spared.
Fortunately, the plots located closest to the château, and thus not far from the Garonne, were hardly affected.  The harvest began on the 8th of September after a very dry, sunny, and hot month of August.
This fine weather is reflected in the quality of the wine, as is the expertise of our winemaking team.
The white wines are delicious, with a great deal of freshness and minerality.
The reds have a deep colour, lovely aromatics, excellent fruit, and attractive freshness. The wines are smooth, round, and balanced on the palate.
Due to challenging weather conditions, the 2017 vintage was low in volume. However, the care taken in the vineyard and cellar were rewarded by promising wines.

La Quille 2015 has a considerable freshness, along with delicious red fruit, cherry, raspberry and blackberry flavours. The tannins are attractively round and the wine also displays subtle spicy overtones. Its structure is characteristic of the terroir in Cérons: gravel and limestone.
