Caroline Graves Château de Chantegrive 1999
The 1999 Caroline from Château de Chantegrive is a Grand Vin de Bordeaux originating from the Graves appellation. Bottled directly at the estate, this wine was produced and aged in oak barrels. The 1999 vintage achieved a score of 88 points and is characterized as an elegant year for the region.
Located on the left bank of the Garonne River, south of the city of Bordeaux, Graves is widely recognized as the cradle of Bordeaux wine culture. The area, which was granted AOC status in 1937, is named after its characteristic gravel beds deposited by the river. These unique soils provide excellent drainage and heat retention, creating ideal conditions for viticulture. Graves is notable for producing a diverse range of wines, including reds, dry whites, and a smaller quantity of sweet wines.
Situated near the Atlantic coast, Bordeaux is the world's most famous wine region, with a history of exporting wine that dates back to the Middle Ages. The region is renowned for its historic 1855 classification, which continues to rank the leading châteaux today. The terroir is distinctly divided by the Gironde estuary, where the left bank is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon thriving on gravel soils, while the right bank is the traditional domain of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
