Overview

Winery: Gravas

The yellow gold color, rich aromas and unique characteristics of the Sauternes make it a wine of exception and pleasure. This lead Florence and Michel Bernard to create and present Chateau Gravas in a special perfume-like packaging that perfectly fits this refined, elegant and subtle wine.
A unique and almost obvious and natural package for this amazing wine.

"Fresh, with a nice floral spine holding the green melon, white peach and yellow apple fruit together. The lively finish shows nice length. Drink now. 1,500 cases made. –JM"

The Gravas Estate

Chateau Gravas was founded in 1789 and has been in the Bernard family for five generations. It is currently owned by Michel and Florence Bernard.

The name "Gravas" comes from "graves", a gravelly soil that perfectly suits the production of Sauternes wines.

The estate is superbly located in Barsac between Chateau Coutet, Chateau Climens and Chateau Doisy-Daene. The total production is 2,000 cases/year.

The Gravas Vineyard

There are 8 hectares (19.8 acres) of vineyard for the production of Sauternes. The soil is a mix of clay, sand and limestone. The 60 year-old vines are harvested by hand: the grapes are picked in successive passes. The wine is aged in both French and American oak barrels. There are 5 villages in Sauternes: Preignac, Barsac, Fargues, Beaumes and Sauternes.
