Chateau Mejean Graves Rouge 2022 (750ml)

Château Méjean is a small 6.5-hectare estate in Ayguemorte-les-Graves, south of Bordeaux. Its vineyards are planted on the gravel, silica and clay soils for which Graves is famous. 

The château produces only red wines, with vineyards planted to 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. 

It's a lovely example of a smaller Bordeaux property focusing on what it does best. 

The 2022 vintage has produced a generous, rounded wine with lovely fruit and character. Ripe blackcurrant, juicy plum and dark cherry complemented by hints of cedar, gentle spice and earthy notes. 

The palate is smooth and well-balanced, with generous dark fruit, fine tannins and refreshing acidity.
