Produced by winegrower and harvester Nicole Lassus-David, the wine was bottled directly at the estate. The 1989 vintage in this area achieved a score of 96 points and is described as full-bodied and concentrated. This particular release was also recognized with a Gold Medal at the 1990 Bordeaux Concours Régional des Vins d'Aquitaine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wine originates from Graves, a significant appellation located on the left bank of the Garonne river, south of Bordeaux city. Widely considered the cradle of Bordeaux wine culture, the area was officially granted AOC status in 1937. Graves is named after its characteristic gravel beds, which were deposited by the river over time. These soils are highly regarded in viticulture, as they provide excellent natural drainage and effective heat retention for the vines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSituated near the Atlantic coast, the broader Bordeaux region has been exporting wine since the Middle Ages and remains one of the most famous wine-producing areas in the world. While the region is celebrated for its historic classifications, the dry white wines of Graves are traditionally produced using classic local grape varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle, which thrive in the unique gravel terroir of the left bank.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Château Maillard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57434376405318,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/3478\/1950\/files\/generated-1374_e68db98b-c90e-47e0-a7c1-0755266fa575.jpg?v=1790156250","url":"https:\/\/bottleswithhistory.nl\/en\/products\/graves-chateau-maillard-1989","provider":"Bottles With History","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
