Château Gravas 2010 750ml | Aged Bordeaux White Wine (Graves)

A Bordeaux Blanc, a treasure from Graves that has reached the pinnacle of aging, blossoming after more than a decade.

"Château Gravilhas 2010," from the Graves region of Bordeaux, is a rare vintage bottle that allows you to fully experience the aging potential of white wine. For Bordeaux, 2010 was a historically excellent year not only for red wines but also for white wines. After more than 10 years, this luxurious bottle is now at its peak, having evolved from fresh fruit flavors to complex, deep aged aromas.

Key Feature: Elegant Minerality nurtured by Gravelly Soil

The Graves region, where the château is located, is characterized by its soil, which literally means "gravel." This gravelly soil offers excellent drainage and stores solar heat to promote grape ripening, while also imparting a unique flint-like minerality to the wine. Adhering to traditional methods, the exquisite blend of Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, typical of Bordeaux, achieves both a robust structure capable of long-term aging and elegance.

Flavor and Aroma Characteristics: Deepening Amber Nuances

Aroma: When poured into a glass, the deep golden hue, indicative of aging, catches the eye. A rich bouquet unfolds, with opulent aromas of dried apricot, honey, and hazelnut, overlaid with faint nuances of beeswax and toast.
Taste: The palate is exceptionally mature and silky smooth. The concentrated sweetness of the fruit, the firm minerality characteristic of Graves, and the mellowed acidity are harmoniously balanced. Over time, the edges have softened, revealing a deep richness that has matured beautifully.
Finish: Long-lasting notes of dried fruits and roasted spices lead to a satisfying finish.

Recommended Enjoyment: Temperature Variation and Food Pairing

This aged Bordeaux Blanc is best enjoyed at around 10-12°C, allowing the temperature to slowly rise without over-chilling. For food pairing, it excels with seafood dishes in rich cream sauces, roasted chicken, and aged Comté cheese. It is a sophisticated accompaniment, perfect for a special anniversary dinner or for moments when you wish to quietly savor a glass of wine.
