Chateau Jouvente, AOC Graves 2015

The historic 18thc property was acquired in 1990s and by now Ch. Jouvente is a family sustainable 9Ha estate, a rising star in Graves. The vines are planted in gravel/clay soils around the historic building. 62% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon & 8% Petit Verdot are vinified separately, blended and aged in Fr. oak for 12 months. Powerful, smooth and elegant all at once pairs beautifully with a butcher's choice cut, a cheese platter appetizer, or a blackcurrant sorbet as dessert.
