* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

88-90 Barrel sample. Good, with dense tannins, a powerful wine that shows a rich structure. It has obvious acidity, but that fits into a fresh profile.

The aromas and initial taste are all of new wood. Only later does some fresh red fruit appear, giving the wine a lift. There is enough fruit here, but this needs time for the wood to calm down. Then the wine will show the vibrancy the structure suggests.

86-88 Barrel sample. Firmly stalky and green, with very dry tannins. A hard wine that lacks ripeness, although some black fruits show through.

A fresh, citrus-dominated wine, with really crisp, lively fruit. The floral aromas are followed by a zingy character and a white fruit aftertaste. Screwcap.

A leading estate in the southern Graves region, Chantegrive has produced a relatively rich 2007 white, its creamy texture given an edge by apple skin tannins, but still full, open, already generous to drink. There is a great layer of fresh pear juice, which blends well with lime acidity for a final burst of crispness.

A fresh, grassy, herbal wine, with great crisp acidity and intense Sauvignon Blanc flavors. It floats acidity and green flavors along with full, rich fruit. The Chantegrive estate is one of the most important in the southern Graves, an example of what can be done in the region, given investment. Screwcap.

88—90 Barrel sample. A light, fresh wine, with some good blackcurrant flavors. This offers clean, ripe fruit, soft tannins. The hint of dryness to finish is a bonus, suggesting some ageability.
