A great vintage from Gracia, and finally we feel balance and freshness! Gracia 2015 is coming back from the dark side on some previous vintages. Used to be over extracted. But 2015 Gracia which is a blended, with density, and balance tannins. Great wine! Tasted during the En Primeurs week in 2016

Great juice from this tiny vineyard. Only few barrels produced. All handcrafted. From micro plot of light limestone terroir and few clay and chalk. 60% Semillon 20% Sauvignon Blanc and 20% Sauvignon Gris. Oak fermentation. and ageing for 9 months. Bottled in June 2016. Great and intense notes, white flowers, with citrus and honey with white flowers. Great minerality and lots of freshness. Complex, very well integrated! Congratulations for this first vintage. Winemaker is a women: Axelle Courdurié with the help of his husband Pierre. Tasted in Japan.

Dense and plummy. This is a 80% merlot and 20% cabernet sauvignon, blend from different terroirs mainly right bank, with clay and chalk and gravels soils. Very fresh and balance, mineral, with red cherries, some hint of moka. Fresh tannins. Made by Axelle and Pierre Courdurié: bravo for this daily enjoying wine. Hope all Bordeaux wines are looking at you. Will retail around $14 in the US. Tasted in Paris with a famous sommelier in a 3*** restaurants. They choose it for there by the glass!
