Quite light straw colour . Quite aromátic , quince , honeydew melon , white flowers . On the palate this is quite focused with green fruits , apple , quince and some chalk dust . There is a touch of creaminess to the mid palate which helps to round out the wine with decent mineral , flinty tinged length . Quite clean and fresh , young but still enjoyable , but will probably imorove over the next 3-5 years and last well a further 5 or so . — 3 months ago
Note this is a Sancerre rosé made from Pinot noir and not a white Sancerre. Beautiful, floral, white peaches and strawberries. Excellent acidity. A wonderful rosé. — 7 months ago
Yes! So bright and yummy. Leads with almost bubbly yet lean red fruit, happy and bright while the core of burgundy seriousness is still lurking behind. Tingling acidity pairs with crunchy tannins. — 9 months ago
Château de Chantegrive “Cuvée Caroline” 2022
Graves AOC, Bordeaux, France 🇫🇷
Overview
A prestigious white Bordeaux blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, sourced from one of the most respected family-owned estates in Graves. Founded in 1966 by the Lévêque family, this cuvée is named after their daughter Caroline and reflects the estate’s commitment to quality and tradition. Fermentation and aging in French oak barrels enhance both the complexity and elegance of the wine.
Aromas & Flavors
Nose: fresh, vibrant aromas of citrus zest, tropical fruits, and white flowers, lifted by subtle oak-spice and vanilla.
Palate: layered with ripe stone fruits, pineapple, and lemon curd, balanced by minerality and a creamy texture from its barrel aging.
Mouthfeel
Medium-bodied with balanced acidity, offering a creamy richness that is lifted by a long, mineral-driven finish. Harmonious and precise, it embodies the elegance of Graves whites.
Winemaking & Style
Fermented and aged in oak barrels (with bâtonnage on the lees), the style is classic Graves: structured, textural, and vibrant, combining freshness with complexity.
Food Pairing
Perfect with grilled sole, lobster thermidor, roasted chicken, creamy risottos, or aged goat cheese. Its richness also makes it a versatile pairing for seafood in butter sauces or herb-crusted poultry.
Verdict
A beautifully expressive Bordeaux Blanc that combines tradition and precision. Complex yet approachable, it’s an excellent bottle to enjoy now, with the potential to evolve gracefully over the next few years. — 3 months ago
