Chateau Crabitey Graves Blanc displays a fine, light yellow color and a nice brilliance. Its nose is fine and complex - even lemony with its pomelo scent - with some smoky notes.

The finish is long and distinguishes itself by nice and light woody and citrus fruit aromas.
Bisque, smoked fish, roasted chicken and vegetables with fresh herbs
