Chateau Gravette Lacombe Medoc 2015

The Gravette-Lacombe Médoc Cru Bourgeois 2015 is a wine for those who lack cellar space and patience. A 60/40 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it’s raised in stainless steel and, even in an excellent vintage like 2015, built for near-mid term drinking.

This is perfectly mature and humble Bordeaux. The nose shows the tertiary, savory, meaty notes that only occur with bottle age – look for dried cherries, leather, and a hint of vanilla. The mouth is smooth and clean, with softened tannins and pleasantly rustic flavors.
