Chateau Gracia- the original garagiste winery from Bordeaux! Located in the charming town of St. Emilion, the winery has land on a 4.4-acre parcel and produces nearly 550 cases of wine in a good vintage. The wines are known for being lush and concentrated, and have been continuously well-received in the industry. The chateau is owned by Michel Gracia, a St. Emilion local, who is also a well-established contractor and stone mason that has built prestigious estates including Cheval Blanc, Petrus, and many more. Because of their extremely low yields, the wines of Chateau Gracia require attention to detail and great effort during winemaking, but the final product is considered a masterpiece.

Tasting Notes

WA90
If you asked me to pick one of my favorite "garagiste" crus, then it would be Gracia. Here, the 2007 Gracia puts in a very creditable performance. The nose is clean and fresh with small red cherries, hints of fruitcake and soy. The palate is crisp and fresh with a fine line of acidity and a pleasing saline finish. It has the substance to suggest that it will continue to give pleasure over the next 3-5 years, possibly longer. Tasted March 2015.
