Chateau Graville-Lacoste Bordeaux Blanc 2023

Located just across the road from the legendary First Growth Château Climens, Château Graville-Lacoste benefits from the same world-class terroir of fissured limestone and clay. This isn’t your average, zesty Sauvignon Blanc; it’s a sophisticated, stony expression of the Graves region that punches far above its price point.

The 2023 vintage is a classic marriage of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and a dash of Muscadelle. While Sauvignon Blanc provides the high-toned citrus and cut-grass aromatics we love, the high proportion of Sémillon (from vines averaging 45–50 years old) brings a haunting note of chamomile, beeswax, and a rounded mid-palate that keeps the wine from being too lean.

Winemaker Hervé Dubourdieu is a perfectionist of the highest order, opting for sustainable “lutte raisonnée” farming to ensure the purest fruit possible. This is the quintessential oyster wine, but its complexity makes it a versatile partner for the dinner table. Whether you’re serving a chilled seafood platter, spicy Thai curry, or simply a roast chicken with herbs, this Graves Blanc is a reliable staff favorite for any occasion.
