Château Chantegrive

Graves

Non classif.

last update : Friday 01 January 2010
 

Totalling 94 hectares, Château Chantegrive is one of the largest estates in the Graves thanks to a series of acquisitions made by Henri Lévêque over the past 40 years.
Consisting of sand and gravel soil on a clay-limestone subsoil, the vineyard is almost equally divided between red and white grapes.
Long famous for its excellent dry white wine, the estate also produces the "Cuvée Caroline" made exclusively from 35 year old vines. This is richer and more complex than the regular cuvée.
This wine is cold treated to retain freshness and fermentated in new oak barrels. It is then aged on its lees and bâtonné (stirred with a stick) every 10 days for 9 months.
Chantegrive's red wine is made the traditional way.
