The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine Taken over by Giorgio Cavanna, Chianti star winemaker at Castello di Ama, and advised by Bertrand Léon, son of the former oenologist of Château Mouton-Rothschild, the Grand Enclos du Château de Cérons is the pinnacle of success, becoming one of the appellation’s most valued estates. Nowadays, it continues to produce top-of-the-range wines in perfect Bordeaux style, walking the fine line between power and balance with panache. 


Located on one of the most beautiful parcels from Graves, it produces one of the region’s most beautiful white wines, a balanced and smooth cuvée that is praised by connoisseurs from around the world. Our privileged relationship with the estate and our friendly ties with its owner allows us to present this splendid 2018 at a competitive price. A rare offer not to be missed!
Wine Perfectly balanced, the 2016 White Graves shows fine citrus and mango flavors, thanks to the ideal pairing of Semillon and Sauvignon, two complementary grape varieties. Of beautiful density, it is a deep, mature, and generous white wine. It has a precise and elegant style, and will be suitable as an aperitif of course, but especially at the table, paired with white meat with cream or cheese. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee, it is of an unequalled regularity, vintage after vintage.
Vinification Manual harvesting, total destemming. Fermentation of the Sauvignon in thermo-regulated stainless steel vats, while the Semillon is fully vinified and aged in French oak barrels, 50% of which are new and 50% of which are one wine. Aged for 8 months with stirring of the lees on the barrels and on the stainless steel tanks.
