"The 2022 La Gravette de Certan is 100% Merlot from three main blocks (including one in front of Le Pin), mainly sourced from younger vines that will eventually enter into VCC. Matured in 50% new oak, it has an open bouquet with blackberry, briar and light mint aromas. The medium-bodied palate is fresh, vibrant and quite saline with pliant tannins and an elegant, refined finish. This is just a lovely wine."

"The 2022 La Gravette de Certan, 100% Merlot, is quite the powerhouse. Almost shockingly ripe and intense by the estate's standards, La Gravette is not exactly subtle. It does offer tons of immediacy. Gravette is mostly young vines planted in 2010, with one parcel that touches Lafleur and the other next to Le Pin, plus about 4% of press fractions. Succulent dark cherry/plum fruit, new leather, licorice, spice and new leather are all dialed up to the maximum. La Gravette is a bit over the top in 2022, but who cares?"
