Château Crabitey

AOC Graves Red

Abandoning the world of finance and Paris, Arnaud de Butler has made his home among the vineyards of Bordeaux. After thorough training in viticulture, he took up the reins of Château Crabitey from his father. The first vintages he produced were revelations, winning one award after another. This Graves takes him up another rung in his well-deserved ascension.

    TASTING NOTES

    An elegant wine, deep crimson in colour with a bouquet of berried fruits, prunes and spices. The attack is frank and complex over a well-integrated tannic base, evolving to a powerful mid-palate with extract redolent of black berried fruit. An excellent quality wine with all the typical characteristics of the Graves appellation.

    TASTING NOTES

    A profound, brilliant garnet hue with deep purple tints, this wine reveals a powerful bouquet with blackberry, black cherry and spice aromas. The fleshy palate is underpinned by well-integrated, creamy tannins. Expert ageing has conserved all the fruitiness, freshness and minerality of this easy-to-drink but elegant vintage. A perfectly balanced wine rounded off by a long, smooth and fruity finish.

    TASTING NOTES

    A beautiful deep red hue, bordering on the black, with ruby and garnet tints. She bouquet is a combination of ripe fruit with toasted and balsamic notes. Underpinned by well-integrated tannins, the rich, frank front of palate evolves powerfully thanks to richly fruity extract. LThe finely grained structure is clothed in lingering, velvety elegance. A Graves which has plenty going for it. A high quality wine that has everything to please.
