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.

Tannins are already in balance with succulent black fruits in this ripe wine. It offers the potential for generosity, with berry flavors and layered acidity. It has an attractive juicy and smoky aftertaste. Drink from 2023.

Sweetness to the fruit on the nose and the attack with classic elegance that is well balanced with depth. Again we are in a very different world from the intensity of the 2016 but they have absolutely managed to produce an elegant and extremely classy wine. The tannins are maintaining a tight grip on the finish, and this needs a good five or six years in bottle before being ready to go, but there is juice between the black fruits. Drinking Window 2023 - 2038.

This is very well done for the vintage with a delightful core of firm yet inviting tannins, plenty of fresh acidity and a taut finish.

The 2017 Olivier is a real sleeper in this vintage. Bright, punchy and beautifully layered in the glass, the 2017 is endowed with terrific energy as well as nuance. Pine, mint, black cherry, spice and leather give the 2017 notable complexity and aromatic brightness to play off its pliant, expressive feel.

The red 2017 Olivier has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It reveals scents of bright black cherries and mulberries, plus suggestions of pencil lead, bay leaves, and crushed rocks. Medium-bodied, the palate is lively and vibrant, delivering soft tannins and an herbal lift on the finish.
