Tasting Note
Haut-Claverie Graves Rouge 2020 captures the soul of the Graves terroir with a gracefully evolved profile and a harmonious blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet in colour with brick-red reflections, it opens with an expressive bouquet of aged leather, dried prunes, and blond tobacco. On the palate, the wine is supple and enveloping, revealing layers of stewed red fruits, warm spices, and mellow, integrated tannins. Its round structure and subtle earthy undertones lend it an old-world charm that is both comforting and complex.
Elegant and ready to drink after an hour of aeration or decanting, this vintage also promises graceful aging over the next 6 to 7 years. Pair it beautifully with slow-cooked dishes like confit lamb shank, Provençal beef stew, or a creamy mushroom gratin. Serve slightly below room temperature (16–18°C) to fully appreciate its depth and finesse. Haut-Claverie 2020 is an excellent ambassador of classic Bordeaux craftsmanship—accessible now yet worthy of cellaring.
