A mineral and complex white wine from Graves

The property

Established in 1966, the Château de Chantegrive is part of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. Certified HVE level 3, this family property passionately and precisely manages its vineyard to produce great wines from Graves.

The vineyard

The vineyard that produces the "Caroline" 2023 cuvée from Château de Chantegrive, a white wine from this Graves estate, extends over 11 hectares of vines planted on gravel, rolled pebbles, fine sands and clay-limestone soils.

Vinification and ageing

The grapes are hand-harvested and undergo a double sorting on the table. Pneumatic pressing under nitrogen and rigorous selection of juices. Cold static settling for 24 hours is followed by fermentation in barrels on fine lees (50% new barrels), as is the ageing for 9 months, accompanied by regular stirring.

Blend

Sauvignon Blanc (50%)
Sémillon (45%)
Sauvignon gris (5%).
