Chateau des Graviers 2009 Margaux, Cru Artisan
Chateau des Graviers is without a doubt our most popular Bordeaux of all time. Vintage after vintage since the late 90's we've followed this very exclusive wine and been bowled over by the consistent high quality of this Cru Artisan Margaux. 2009 was an outstanding vintage in Bordeaux and this blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc from vines averaging 30 years old shows it off beautifully. Aged in oak barrels for 12 months, only about 4,100 cases were produced of this ripe, rich Margaux, most of which is sold directly from the Chateau to their mailing list. We are very lucky to have exclusive access to this wine here in the U.S. Don't miss it!

      Comments about Chateau des Graviers 2009 Margaux, Cru Artisan:

      Having tasted almost every vintage of the Graviers thus far, I was licking my chops to sample the 09 vintage...and it did not disappoint! If they ever submitted this in for ratings guaranteed it would score in the low to mid 90s and the price would be double what it is now. But the truth is most of this wine is sold right out of the winery so they just never do. But this has the caliber and feel of a Margaux at least 2 to 3 times the price. Delicate and elegant, yet intense and bold...just a wonderful wine.

            This is a great wine full of flavor that went well with food or just by itself. Was super with cheese, fruit and nuts. Enjoy it, it's worth it.

                I ordered a case of the 05 and drank it over a 4 year period. It didn't seem to lay down all that great and several of the bottles had way too much sentiment. I feel like I overpaid for the wine which is easy to do with wine. The 05 was a bust for me.

                    Actually we are enjoying this wine immensely right not with about 15-20 minutes of breathing time. However you can certainly cellar it and let it develop more complexity over the next 3-5 years.

                    Probably better in a year or 2.

                    It's good now but will def improve with 3-5 years cellar time.

                    We expect this wine the develop very well properly cellared, over the the next 3-5 years.
