“Freshness is our signature; elegance is our legacy!”

“Delicate and subtle, the bouquet reveals nuances from the aging process that highlight notes of anise, fresh pineapple, and mirabelle plums. On the palate, the sweetness of the oak is noticeable on the attack. It lends a delectable touch to the overall palate, while the structure and subtle bitterness lend intensity and aromatic persistence. A precise and impressive wine that deserves our patience.” (Yves Beck 2025) — A white wine perfect for fine dining!

Rated estate (2023 guide): 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable offering, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Long considered one of the appellation’s flagship estates, this very large estate in the southern Graves region belongs to the Levêque family, who are also renowned wine brokers in the Bordeaux region. It is now managed by Hubert de Boüard (Château Angélus), who produces highly characteristic wines—both red and white—that are destined for great success. Both the reds and whites are highly expressive, delicately aromatic, rather refined, and well-balanced. The Caroline, the estate’s flagship wine with a well-established reputation, is rich yet never lacking in elegance.

About the estate:

Created from scratch in 1967 by wine merchant Henri Lévêque, this estate—which originally covered 2 ha—is now a beautiful, cohesive property spanning nearly 100 ha (HVE3-certified), currently managed by the founder’s daughter, Marie-Hélène Lévêque, who has been advised by Hubert de Boüard since 2006. A sure bet in the Graves region, with numerous “ Favorites ” awards to its credit.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Selected (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the estates listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the pinnacle of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

An iconic estate in Podensac, in the heart of the Graves appellation, Chantegrive was founded by Henri Lévêque. This long-standing Bordeaux wine merchant began the venture in 1966 with just two hectares of vineyards. 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 guidance from Hubert de Boüard since 2006, now produces wines that have regained their place among the appellation’s finest. Launched in 2020, the Les Oiseaux line offers a cleverly modern and spontaneous take on Graves wines.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) Recommended (Wine producer recommended by Wine Enthusiast)

About the wine:

This intense wine is built for aging. Its notes of ripe fruit and aromas of toast reflect its body and balance. Produced by the Lévêque family, this rich wine reveals flavors of pear and apple, along with a spicy finish. Best enjoyed starting in 2027.

About the wine:

The 2024 Cuvée Caroline was vinified and aged in barrels. Notes of candied lemon, white flowers, mint, and spices, along with a subtle hint of tropical fruit, are all enhanced by the influence of French oak. The wine exhibits excellent balance and promises to age beautifully. Tasted twice. 2026–2032.

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91-92/100

About the wine:

Creamy notes of vanilla and spices blend with aromas of gooseberry and green mango. Fresh, lively, and medium-bodied, it offers lovely acidity, a very dry mid-palate, and a creamy finish with subtle salty notes. A blend of 50% Sauvignon Blanc and 50% Sémillon. It will become more harmonious in 1 or 2 years.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 93-94/100

About the wine:

The Cuvée Caroline is made from grapes grown on soils of rounded pebbles and fine sand (Sémillon) and on gravel with a clay-limestone subsoil (Sauvignon). Aged on the lees for 9 months in barrels (50% new). Delicate and subtle, the bouquet reveals nuances from the aging process that highlight notes of anise, fresh pineapple, and mirabelle plums. On the palate, the sweet, woody character is noticeable on the attack. It lends a delectable touch to the entire palate, while the structure and subtle bitter notes support the intensity and aromatic persistence. A precise and impressive wine that deserves our patience. 2028–2042
