"A beautiful gourmet wine that will find its place during a meal. Delicious!"
"The top-of-the-range white wine from Château Chantegrive. A combination of white floral aromas and hints of verbena. Rich on the palate, with a hint of vanilla and good body. Finish of pink grapefruit and lime. Moderate liveliness. A balance between measured tension and fullness. A wine for fine dining. (Terre de Vins 2024) - A very good example of Bordeaux's expertise in white wines. It's delicious!

Rated estate (2023 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Long considered one of the appellation's flagship properties, this very large estate in the southern Graves region belongs to the Levêque family, who are also renowned brokers in the Bordeaux region. It is now managed by Hubert de Boüard (Château Angélus), who produces very typical red and white wines destined for great success. Both the red and white wines are very expressive, delicately aromatic, rather refined, and well-balanced. The Caroline cuvée, the estate's flagship cuvée with a well-established reputation, is rich yet elegant.

About wine:
Like the classic Lévêque family style, this wine reveals pleasant flavors of lemon and lime, as well as notes of lime blossom, acacia, and, more specifically, white peach. Aging in oak barrels with bâtonnage gives it richness and a delicious toasted character. Ideal for more refined cuisine. 2025-2033

About the estate:
An iconic property in Podensac, in the heart of the Graves appellation, Chantegrive was created by Henri Lévêque. This historic Bordeaux wine broker began his adventure in 1966 with just two hectares of vines. Long a pioneer in the production of ambitious wines, Chantegrive experienced a slump in the early 2000s. The château, taken over by Marie-Hélène Lévêque with the advice of Hubert de Boüard since 2006, now produces wines that have regained their place among the appellation's finest. Launched in 2020, the Les Oiseaux range presents a cleverly modern and impulsive image of Graves wines.

This wine is quite complex and structured, with lovely fruity notes such as candied lemon and pineapple. It is medium-bodied with good volume and length. Very appealing.

About wine:
The bouquet of the Caroline cuvée is very refined and complex. Floral notes and hints of citrus are subtly enhanced by light woody notes. On the palate, the wine combines density and character. Slightly salty on the attack, it displays beautiful aromatic expression and is supported by structuring acidity, while subtle bitter notes enhance the persistence of the finish. A beautiful wine that will find its place during a meal and boasts good aging potential. A great success. 2025-2038
