    Vinum

    Amazingly profound for a second wine: dark berries, herbs, a cool fireplace note, and a hint of cream; on the palate it’s creamy and soft on entry, with not overly pronounced tannins, great acidity, and a long, fruity finish with a salty touch. A perfect wine to drink while waiting for the Grand Vin.

    Neal Martin

    The 2023 La Gravette de Certan is pure Merlot from younger vines. This has a powerful bouquet, surprisingly opulent in style with precocious red and blue fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with rounded tannins that lend this a velvety texture. Layered black fruit laced with espresso, a dash of spiciness on the finish.
