Château La Grave à Pomerol lies to the northwest of the Pomerol plateau, bordering Lalande de Pomerol. The vineyard is planted on gravel soils with some clay, with vines of an average age of 30 years. The soil and the age of the vines make for wines which are less about obvious power and structure and more about elegance, a lightness of touch and an understated sense of place - very classical Right Bank claret.
