Château La Gravière
Appellation : Haut-Médoc
Vintages : 2018, 2019 and 2020
The Château La Gravière is located in the heart of the Médoc, near the commune of Saint-Estèphe. This charming 19th century residence, nestled in the greenery, is surrounded by its 19 hectare vineyard. For many generations, this ancient estate was important and prosperous, but like many other Médoc estates, its vineyard area had diminished considerably by the middle of this century. The present owner, who is also the mayor of the commune, has for over forty years, through meticulous care, improved and reconstituted the vineyard, restored the old buildings and built new cellars to restore it to its former importance and increase its reputation.
