AOC Graves:  The area of Graves gets its name from the soil - a mix of gravels, clay and sand carried out by the river. The Graves appellation is located just outside the town of Bordeaux on the left banks of the Garronne Rivers.   The Chateau received its name in the 15th century for its exceptional terroir in Graves.

Cépages: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Muscadelle.

About the Producers: Louis-Michel Musyt and Michel Bonnot are exceptional vignerons of this region. Michel began his career as an investment banker but purchased the vineyard to pursue a dream.  His brother-in-law, Louis-Michel, an oenologue at Chateau Pape Clement, joined Michel in the pursuit of his own dream.  Every aspect of their winemaking derives from a passion for everything about wine. The growing techniques are biodynamic - shunning the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Many of the vines are around 35 years old.  The grapes are hand picked and sorted, treated to traditional Bordelais methods of vinification.

Tasting Notes: This is a delicious white wine has all the body and richness expected of  a Graves!  Pale in color with an aromatic nose marked by honey and vanilla; it is a wine of round, persistent length, very rich.  

Recommended Food Pairings: Seafood, fish, and poultry, cheeses. This is a very versatile wine which complements both simple dinners of grilled or roasted white meats as well as those served with sauces.

Awards: 2 gold medals obtained in the 2008 edition of the "concours national des vignerons independants" (international independent winemakers contest)
