CHÂTEAU GRAVES DE PEZ 2022 – Saint-Estèphe

The nose is fresh, fruity and racy, with a certain depth and controlled power. It reveals notes of blackberry, violet and small notes of small bright red berries, associated with touches of bigarreau cherry, fleshy raspberry and hints of infusion, lilac as well as delicate hints of zan. On the palate, the wine is well-built, supple, fresh, mellow, gourmand and airy, with precision, freshness, energy, and a delicate, elegant sappy frame, even eucalyptus. It expresses notes of juicy/pulpy cassis, fresh cherry and small notes of small red berries, associated with touches of lilac, tonka bean, cardamom as well as a hint of chocolate and toasted hazelnuts. Delicate, with a lovely play of floral notes. Tannins are finely powdered, even chalky.
