This second wine from the renowned Château Couhins comes from Pessac-Léognan, a prime part of the Graves region south of Bordeaux. The winery combines traditional elegance with research into sustainable precision viticulture by the INRA, the French Institute for Agricultural Research.
The 2019 blend consists of 68% Merlot and 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, which is classic for this appellation. The wine was aged for 12 months, partly in steel tanks and partly in French oak barrels.
A deep ruby red in the glass. The nose captivates with refined aromas of cedar wood and dark and red berries - especially raspberry and cedar - harmoniously integrated into a fine woody note. On the palate, Château Couhins La Gravette 2019 is round, soft, with supple tannins and an elegant, well-defined structure, with some residual sweetness. Dark fruits - cherry, plum - combine with subtle spice and mineral depth, resulting in a wonderful harmony. The finish is extremely long.
An extremely versatile companion for the table: the wine goes excellently with grilled or braised lamb, game and poultry dishes such as duck or guinea fowl, as well as spicy farmhouse charcuterie, mushroom risotto and mature hard cheeses.
Château Couhins La Gravette 2019 combines classic Bordeaux elegance with modern finesse: a multi-layered second wine with supple fruitiness, fine tannins and a remarkably complex finish. Its high rating and longevity into the early 2030s make it the ideal choice for connoisseurs and collectors.
The 2019 enjoys high recognition: 93-94/100 points awarded by James Suckling
