Tasting notes
The 2019 Château De Chantegrive is also terrific, with lots of black cherry and darker raspberry fruits to go with cedary herbs, tobacco, and earth. Nicely textured, balanced, and medium-bodied, it's well worth buying and drinking. It should keep for a decade.

The 2019 Chantegrive has turned out well, exhibiting aromas of sweet berries, cherries and plums mingled with notions of loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, charming and lively, with powdery tannins and a nicely balanced profile, it's an attractive, understated Graves that will flesh out with a few years in bottle.
The 2019 Chantegrive has a tightly wound nose at first, opening with aeration to reveal black currant, sage and clove scents; more scorched earth aromas develop with time. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, and fine acidity, if maybe just a little drier on the finish than I would have preferred. Still, it should give several years of drinking pleasure.
