It hugs the left bank of the Garonne river, upstream from the city of Bordeaux. The name “Graves” derives from \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003egravier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e, or gravel; the area’s intensely gravelly soils were laid down by glaciers during the Ice Age. Château Moutin is a 4-hectare estate - tiny by Bordeaux standards - run by the brother-and-sister team of Jean-Christophe Darriet and Sandrine Darriet-Froléon. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMoutin’s Graves is 80% merlot and 20% cabernet sauvignon from 35-year-old vines, aged in a mix of used and new oak barrels for two years… and then released by the winery after a couple of additional decades of bottle aging in the château. Cheers to mature Bordeaux!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThe wine is fresh-fruited and deep, with forest floor and a bright menthol component. This is savory, supple, and remarkably fresh for a 23-year-old wine. And it’s just 13% alcohol, a welcome throwback to the good ol’ days of low-to-moderate-alcohol Bordeaux. It is plenty expressive right out of the gate, but opening the bottle 30-60 minutes before serving doesn’t hurt. Drink it in a Bordeaux glass (duh!) with roast beef or mushroom soufflé.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paul Marcus Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47900258238722,"sku":"019177700910","price":88.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0460\/0718\/9669\/files\/f8a4a38f-ce99-49ff-a7a8-cf0874550f38.jpg?v=1780177603","url":"https:\/\/shop.paulmarcuswines.com\/products\/2001-chateau-moutin-graves-rouge-cuvee-classique","provider":"Paul Marcus Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
