My interview with Mr. Baron De Luz of Chateau Chantegrive. A relatively recent arrival in the Graves, Bordeaux scene (1960′s), this Chateau produces affordable and respected wines. Led by founder and Mr. De Luz’s father in law Henry Leveque, the estate has grown to over 100 hectares and is now one of the largest estates in the Graves and a member of the renowned Bordeaux trade group Union des Grands Crus. The Graves area is said to be named after the gravelly soil which retains heat during the day and radiates it at night causing the fruit to mature earlier in the season than other areas of Bordeaux. The Chateau produces a white wine composed of 50% Semillon and 50% Sauvignon Blanc. Aromas of honey, peaches and apple pie yield to the right balance of acidity and fruit. This faintly yellow wine has just enough freshness without being a lightweight (POW 87). The red wine is comprised of 50% Merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, has a medium body, forward fruit of plums, cherry and red berries with the right amount of tannins for a short to medium hold. (POW 88). For further information about Chateau Chantegrive please visit http://www.chantegrive.com/
