This is the top white wine from Château Chantegrive in the Graves, and has been listed for the first time by The Wine Society. Half Semillon, and the other half Sauvignon Blanc with a dash of Sauvignon Gris, this is everything you could want from a dry white Bordeaux. It has some evolution from the five years of bottle age, and is full-bodied and rich in character, with vibrant aromas and flavours of lemon curd on toast. Very classy, a satisfying mouthful, voted a Wine Champion by the inhouse buying team.
