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.

The 2019 Chantegrive has turned out well, exhibiting aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums mingled with notions of loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, charming and lively, with powdery tannins and a nicely balanced profile, it's an attractive, understated Graves that will flesh out with a few years in bottle.
