The birthplace of “claret” and home of the famous Haut-Brion, the Graves appellation in Bordeaux for centuries has produced red and white wines with an aristocratic mien and effortless elegance in perfume and flavor. The region’s name points to its terroir strength: “graves” describes a gravely terrain, these poor, well-draining soils a veritable nirvana for Cabernet Sauvignon — a fact used to great effect by our partners in Castres, Château de Janicon. Majority Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot & Petit Verdot.
