Saint-Émilion Grand Cru

Château Haut Gravet | France

One sip of this gold-medal-winning wine and you’ll see why people go wild for Bordeaux. With opulent aromas of red and black fruits and ripe tannins, it’s complex, rich and elegant – and a real taste of the terroir. But that’s what you get from a family with more than 200 years of experience in making Saint-Émilion wines.

About the producer
Set at the foot of the hillside of Saint-Émilion, Château Haut Gravet was purchased by Alain and Bernadette Aubert in 1987. Their family has been making wine for more than two centuries and they still maintain the traditional grand-cru production methods, ageing in oak barrels for 15 to 18 months. Next generation Cécile and Amélie have joined the team, working across the family’s numerous Bordeaux estates including grand-cru-classé Château La Couspaude.

About the region
With rolling vineyards and medieval architecture, UNESCO-listed Saint-Émilion isn’t just one of the prettiest wine villages in France, but one of the prettiest in the world. Unlike many other parts of Bordeaux, it is Merlot – rather than Cabernet Sauvignon – that dominates blends here. The Dordogne River, together with a system of valleys and the nearby Atlantic Ocean, moderates the area’s climate.

Food and Wine Pairings
Pair this wine with Claire Thomson’s Cheese Empanadas. A wine with plenty of fruity flavour makes an excellent pairing for cheese. This Saint-Émilion also has ripe, round tannins that flatter the crisp, flaky pastry.
