Chateau Les Gravieres 2016

- Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Neal Martin: "The 2016 Les Gravieres has a lovely ripe red cherry and crushed strawberry scented bouquet with a touch of orange blossom following through. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannin and plenty blackberry and bilberry fruit, leading to a structured tobacco-tinged finish. This is a well-made Saint Emilion."

- 91 Punkte VINOUS, Neal Martin: "The 2016 Les Gravières has a perfumed, quite floral bouquet with crushed violet petals infusing the blackberry and strawberry aromas. The oak here is nicely integrated. The palate is well balanced with a fine line of acidity and hints of salted licorice infusing the black fruit. Good build in the mouth and gentle grip on the finish. Excellent."

- JEB DUNNUCK: "From the team of Denis Barraud and 100% Merlot brought up in new oak, the 2016 Château Les Gravieres is a solid, enjoyable Saint-Emilion that represents a good value. Notes of blackcurrants, plums, scorched earth, and graphite all emerge from this rounded, nicely textured effort that should keep for at least 10-15 years."

- 91 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: "A decidedly riper style with dark-plum compote and notes of rhubarb and licorice. The palate has density of fruit in a dark, essence-like mode with full body and assertive, rich and ripe tannins. Try from 2022."
