Tasting notes
The 2025 Les Gravières has a sun-kissed bouquet, a little more exotic than its peers. The palate is medium-bodied with grippy tannins, quite voluminous, and yet it lacks real complexity towards the finish. Could have been better. Just too much.

The 2025 Les Gravières offers a decidedly savory, mineral-drenched expression of Merlot. Blue-toned fruit, gravel, dried herbs, lavender, menthol and pomegranate scream out of the glass. Medium in body, with tons of driving energy, Les Gravières is both superb and distinctive. Tasted two times.
The 2025 Les Gravières, crafted entirely from Merlot, is less marked by oak than usual, revealing aromas of dark berries, spice and clove. Medium- to full-bodied, fleshy and dense, it remains structured, with a spicy finish that borders on drying at this stage. This impression may reflect extraction that has yet to fully integrate, lending a touch of hardness for the moment.
