Chateau Respide-Medeville - Graves Rouge 2020
Chateau Respide-Medeville Description
Château Respide-Médeville, located in the Graves appellation, is known for its elegant and structured red wines that reflect the typical terroir of this renowned wine-growing area of Bordeaux. The Graves appellation is famous for its unique soil composition, rich in gravel and pebbles, which gives the wines a distinctive minerality and aromatic complexity.
Château Respide-Médeville produces red wines using a traditional Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and sometimes small amounts of Petit Verdot. This combination of grape varieties contributes to the wine's tannic structure, its richness of fruit and its ability to age gracefully.
Château Respide-Médeville's production philosophy places great emphasis on quality and the expression of terroir. Attention in the management of the vineyards, manual harvesting and careful winemaking are fundamental to producing wines that are true representatives of the distinctive characteristics of Graves. Aging in French oak barrels adds additional layers of complexity, complementing the wine with notes of spice, toastiness and a light touch of vanilla.
When tasted, Château Respide-Médeville Graves Rouge presents itself with a rich and inviting aromatic profile, characterized by notes of ripe red and black fruits, such as cherries and plums, enriched by nuances of aromatic herbs, chocolate and a light mineral vein.
