From young vines this is a flexible and fruity wine with plenty of red fruit flavours. The Cailley family own this Chateau where traditional methods going back to 1812 are today combined with modern techniques to produce top quality wines. (6 x 75 cl)
Chateau Magneau is an ancient estate run by the Ardurats family, the direct descendants of a line of wine growers from before the reign of Henri IV. Fiveteen hectares of excellent plots of gravel soil are given over to producing red wines. The varieties planted are 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc. The vines are on average 25 years old and the grapes are picked by hand once they have reached full maturity. The result of great care from the vineyard to the winery is a deep red coloured wine with a black forrest fruit bouquet that develops onto the palate through to the enjoyable finish. (12 x 75 cl)
Lovely garnet colour, delightful, complex bouquet with hints of toast and ripe black fruit. The attack is mellow, the palate is very big, supported by subtle tannins. In 1966 Henri and Francoise Leveque acquired a few plots of vines in the commune of Podensac. Now, after 40 years patiently adding more plots, Chateau de Chantegrive is today one of the largest and most prestigious estates in the Graves appellation with 97 hectares of vines. Additionally, it is a member of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. (6 x 75 cl)
