Château des Gravières

Château des Gravières belongs to the Labuzan family, whose roots in the riverside village of Portets reach back to the early seventeenth century. The first bottles carrying the estate name appeared in 1847, and the property later weathered the phylloxera crisis. Today brothers Thierry and Denis represent the seventh generation.

The twenty-hectare Graves estate works with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon for its reds and Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon for its whites. The reds ferment at low temperatures and age in barrel; gentle pressing and lees stirring are used for the whites.
