Delice du Grand Enclos 2015, Graves Rouge

This is the kind of Bordeaux you bring to your most culinary friend’s dinner party, where the lamb is local, the duck breast is perfectly rendered, and the wine has to meet the moment without overpowering it. It’s a wine that rewards care with quiet complexity.

Tasting Notes: Intensely dark in color, this Graves red opens with a ripe and layered nose of red fruit, blackcurrant, and black cherry, lifted by subtle spice. On the palate, it’s both voluminous and elegant — defined by silky tannins of great presence and finesse. Though structured and powerful, the wine maintains remarkable balance, never feeling heavy. The distinctive Graves terroir reveals itself in the long, refined finish, making this a standout pairing for fine cuts of lamb, duck breast, game, or simply prepared dishes of exceptional quality.

Varietals: 45% Merlot, 55% Cabernet Sauvignon

About the Estate: The vineyard is owned and managed by Giorgio Cavanna, an Italian from Tuscany with family roots in winemaking, and one of the greatest names in oenology, Patrick Léon. Their long association and friendship helps them dedicate their full attention to this Graves terroir.
