Though Graves produces both red and white wines, it is mostly known for its elegant Cabernet Sauvignon-based blends, which are typically redolent of dark cherries with savory spice, chocolate and a distinctive minerality.
Wines here tend to be lighter in body and mature more quickly than those from the Haut-Médoc, yet still have fantastic aging potential.
Located on Bordeaux's left bank, Graves is known for its gravel soils, which retain the sun's heat and help ripen grapes.
In 1987, Pessac-Leognan was separated out from the wider Graves appellation, taking with it the all of the region's Classed Growths.
