Consistent white Graves from the Leveque family with Hubert de Boüard as consultant. Soft freshly cut grass and pyrazine notes from the Sauvignon, softened by a gentle lick of apricot. Not as good as the 2014, but still hugely enjoyable.

Initial reduction dissipates with air, yielding notes of white stone fruit and lemon. This is a charming wine displaying freshness, density and verve. Fermentation in temperature-controlled vats and aging on the lees accentuates both pure fruit flavours of nectarine and acacia and a certain creamy texture. Medium finish. Try pairing with seafood or salmon. A bargain pick.
