Tasting notes
Notes of dark berries, spices and oak preface the 2022 Les Gravières, a medium to full-bodied, round and sappy wine with a structured core of fruit and a youthful, assertive tannic frame that segues into a long, spicy finish. While the oak presence is notable, it remains a well-crafted wine, skillfully balanced to enhance its complexity.

The 2022 Les Gravières has an open bouquet with blackberry, raspberry and potpourri aromas joining the fray with time. The palate is medium-bodied with touches of red berry fruit and cola, with a little attenuation on the finish. It's not bad—I would drink this over the next ten years.
The 2022 Les Gravières is so distinctive. Gravel, incense, licorice, inky blue-toned fruit, pencil shavings and lavender all race across the palate. The sustained finish is a thing of beauty. Give the tannins a few years to soften.
