"Composed of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Chantegrive has a medium to deep garnet-purple color and notes of stewed black and red plums, black raspberries and damp soil, plus hints of tapenade and black truffles with a waft of bay leaves. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing, delivering a good amount of crunchy red and black fruits and a soft texture, finishing with an herbal lift.
88-90 Wine Advocate."
The south-facing vines, 50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon for red and 50% Semillon, 50% Sauvignon Blanc are surrounded by a low stone wall and soak up the warm sunlight on beautiful summer days. There are river stones ranging in colour from pink to beige on the vineyard’s fine sandy soil.
In autumn, one can hear the sound of secateurs as well as pickers singing. Grape bunches fill up crates as people tease one another and talk about their lives.
Red wines are matured in French oak barrels for 12 months, 9 months for white wines.
Annual production is around 200,000 bottles for red wine and 80,000 bottles for white.
