2009 Mouthwatering, squeaky stainless-steel-aged, dry white bordeaux with so much tingly, lemon and lime fruit on the tongue that it would be hard to find a zingier summer white. Not as strident as the Loire sauvignons, the Bordeaux versions like this sauvignon-led ’08, with only 15 per cent sémillon in the mix, make happy summer apéritifs as well as punchy white meat and fish wines.
___________________________________________________________ 2009
2006 Traditionally the only region in Bordeaux to make both top-quality reds and whites, Graves has lost much of its land to the new appellation of Pessac-Léognan. What remains is a collection of medium-to full-bodied whites and reds. The reds made from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are supple, earthy, and tobacco-scented. The whites are made from Sémillon, Sauvignon d Blanc, and Muscadelle grapes. These honeyed, soft, nutty wines are among the greatest in France.
__________________________________________________________ 2008 Good balance and ripe fruit freshness in the mouth, with good tannins that are noticeable but round and creamy. A great, classic Bordeaux Vintage.
