"Lightly touched by wood, this wine is still young, Structured tannins give potential while vibrant black fruits will soften well. The wine is worth aging, ready to drink from 2025. - Roger Voss"

jeb dunnuck logo 250"Offering a Graves-like style in its smoked earth, dark fruits, coffee grind, and earthy, tobacco-laced aromas and flavors, the 2015 Chateau La Graviere Les Terrasses Cotes de Bourg is medium to full-bodied, has a fleshy, rounded, sexy texture, and a great finish. It’s another gem from the 2015 vintage that over-delivers. Drink it any time over the coming 7-8 years."
