Château de Chantegrive, located in Graves, is not yet old, certainly not by Bordeaux standards. The château was founded in 1966 and was founded by Henri & Françoise Lévêque. They were able to realize their dream thanks to the sale of their valuable stamp collection. This can also be the case in Bordeaux.

The 2022 Château de Chantegrive is a blend of Merlot 65% and Cabernet Sauvignon 35%. Lots of fine and ripe red on the nose and some dark fruit, soft herbs and light wood notes. Fruit returns in the mouth with very soft tannins and a ripe fruity aftertaste. A lot of wine for the money.

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving Deze 2022 Château de Chantegrive toont rijp rood en donker fruit, zachte kruiden, een lichte houttoets en zeer zachte tannines met een rijpe, fruitvolle afdronk. Daardoor vult hij vette en hartige smaken mooi aan: de fruitigheid snijdt door charcuterie en BBQ-glazes, terwijl de zachte tannines en kruidigheid het vlees van rundvlees en rijke kazen ondersteunen zonder te overheersen. Kies voor gegrild of langzaam gegaard rundvlees zoals ribeye of brisket, charcuterie met serrano of paté, of gerookte/gekruide BBQ-ribs en iets oudere harde kazen zoals Comté of Manchego voor optimale harmonie.

Château de Chantegrive, located in Graves, is not old, certainly not by Bordeaux standards. If you like fairy tales, you will definitely love this one. The story begins in 1966 when Henri & Françoise Lévêque decided to create what would later become the Chateau de Chantegrive!. They were really convinced of the potential of the Graves "terroir"  They were able to realize their dream thanks to the sale of their precious stamp collection to acquire their first 2 HA. So it can also go in Bordeaux.

to acquire their first two hectares. What happened next is a success story, the result of hard work and focused on the future and the new technologies combined with the unconditional need to be mainly present between the vines. Together, Françoise & Henri formed a very dynamic duo, a solid visionary team and above all: a couple of passionate wine lovers. 48 years later and 96 hectares further, the new generation of children has taken over the chateau de Chantegrive. The five children now manage it with their mother and Marie Hélène Lévêque continues the work of her parents with a dynamic passion. Since 2006, they have been working with Hubert de Boüard, owner of Château Angélus, who advises the team on vinification.
