Varietal

Red Bordeaux

There are few regions in the world with stricter regulations in regards to wine production and grape varietals than those found in Bordeaux, France. Here, in the home of the world's finest wines, the type and quality of grapes used is of utmost importance, and the legendary wineries which work on the banks of the Gironde river have mastered the careful art of juice blending to find the perfect balance for their produce. Whilst there are six 'official' Bordeaux grapes, the two key varietals for almost every fine Bordeaux wine are Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and with good reason. Whilst Cabernet Sauvignon grapes are renowned for their acidity and astringency, strong fruit and spice flavors and full body, Merlot grapes are notably rounded, soft, fleshy and lighter on tannin. The combination of these two varietals, along with a small percentage of (commonly) Petit Verdot or Cabernet Franc, is the perfect balancing act â€“ the two grape varietals cancel out each others weaker points, and accentuate all that is good about the other.

Appellation

Graves

Graves, a venerable appellation in Bordeaux, France, is renowned for its historical significance and the production of distinguished red and white wines. What makes Graves unique is its diverse terroir, featuring gravelly soils that not only lend the region its name but also provide excellent drainage and heat reflection, contributing to the ripening of grapes. Red wines from Graves are predominantly blends of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, offering a balanced expression of dark fruits, structure, and age-worthy potential. The appellation is also celebrated for its exceptional white wines, primarily crafted from Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon. These whites showcase bright acidity, citrus flavors, and a unique flinty character. Graves is home to renowned châteaux like Haut-Brion, a Premier Cru Classé, exemplifying the region's commitment to producing wines of exceptional quality and character. Exploring Graves unveils the essence of Bordeaux winemaking, where tradition and terroir converge to create wines that resonate with history and sophistication.

There’s a distinctive, leafy and slightly sappy edge to this Pessac that opens to flowers and wild red berries. The palate has a long, taut and fresh feel. This is wound tight for now and needs time. A blend of cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Try from 2023.

The 2016 La Louvière is a heady, exotic wine. Raspberry jam, rose petal, white truffle, scorched earth and plum give the wine its broad, ample feel. A huge center of fruit, along with a host of iron, savory and feral notes that develop in the glass, add further shades of nuance. This is very nicely done.

Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2016 la Louviere opens with potpourri and chocolate box scents with a core of warm red and black currants and raspberry tart. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm, grainy frame and oodles of freshness supporting the delicate fruits, finishing earthy.

This sports a big burst of plum fruit flavor liberally laced with savory detail and tobacco leaf notes. A dose of toasty vanilla is inserted on the finish. A fruit-driven and friendly style that should settle down with brief cellaring. Best from 2021 through 2028. 8,333 cases made.

Also outstanding, the 2016 Château La Louvière offers a frontend-loaded, medium-bodied, elegant style as well as some classic Graves tobacco and earth intermixed with notes of currants, strawberries, and new leather. It has the purity of fruit that’s the hallmark of the vintage, rock-solid balance, and is already a delicious drink. It should keep nicely for 10-15 years.
