Château La Grave à Pomerol (known until 1992 as La Grave Trigant de Boisset) 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, which makes for wines with an elegance and lightness of touch. Through very rigorous crop thinning and selection, the Moueix team produce rather seductive wines with charm and finesse. The double magnum format will enjoy greater longevity but stylistically the base wine is the same. It makes an impresive showstopper at dinners
"Full ruby colour, virtually opaque. Briary black fruits on the nose, creamily ripe, very pure and fresh. The palate has that characteristic La Grave silkiness with supple, full flavours and - the key to 2015 - real density and fresh concentration to a long finish.
