2019 Château Les Gravières

The 2019 Les Gravières a wine of tremendous distinction, and a major sleeper. Ripe red cherry, rose petal, spice, crushed rocks, menthol and licorice are all finely sculpted. Readers will find a deep, mineral-driven Saint-Émilion of real distinction. The purity and vivid delineation of the flavors is just remarkable. Tasted two times.

This is a little firm-edged, with cedar and savory notes guiding a core of lightly mulled plum and cherry fruit along. Features a tobacco note that fills in on the slightly chewy finish. Drink now through 2025. 2,080 cases made, 1,500 cases imported.

Sporting a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Les Gravieres opens slowly with subtle notions of stewed plums, baked black cherries and mulberries giving way to emerging scents of black tea, cracked pepper, cedar chest and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has a solid structure of firm, ripe, rounded tannins and tons of freshness framing the tightly wound black fruit layers, finishing on a mineral note.
