Description
The Château Crabitey Graves Blanc 2022 is a beautiful pale yellow wine with green tints. The fine, delicate bouquet unveils the typical mineral notes of its terroir, accompanied by floral and citrus aromas. The palate is charmingly fresh, highlighting chewy extract and great complexity together with hints of toastiness. The lingering finish rounds out the impression of an elegant, distinctive wine.
To drink from 2024.
Situated 35km south of Bordeaux, Château Crabitey is one of the flagship estates of the Graves appellation renaissance. The estate belonged to a religious community from 1872. Thanks to investment by the nuns and the residents, Château Crabitey enjoyed fine reputation even at that period. Since 1999 the estate has been skilfully run by Arnaud de Butler under the watchful eye of his father. Building on the work that had already been achieved, he concentrates on the grapes, the crux of this whole “divine project”. He focuses a key part of his attention on vineyard practices: ploughing, shoot-thinning, green harvesting and integrated farming. These efforts culminated with the construction of a new winery in 2001. Today, Château Crabitey has caught up with the times while assuming its extraordinary past and produces succulent, frank, modern wines.
Food Pairing: Drink chilled, either as an aperitif wine or with grilled fish, poultry or goat’s cheese.
