Château Les Rives de Gravelongue
Médoc
 Situated in Jau-Dignac-et-Loirac, on a 7 hectares parcel composed of 50% merlot and 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, the Château Les Rives de Gravelongue produces around 50 000 bottles.
Coming from vines younger then 10 years old and vinified on the same site of Château Lacombe Noaillac, this Médoc is fruity, very pleasant to drink young and can be served a bit fresh around 17° along simple meals such as grilled meat.
