JEB DUNNUCK: "Ripe blue fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and a kiss of minerality all emerge from the 2023 Château Petit Gravet Aîné, a medium-bodied, incredibly elegant Saint-Emilion coming from sandier soils near Canon-La- Gaffelière. The purity of fruit, as well as the overall balance, are impressive. I think the cellar will be your friend on this one."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: "A blend of 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot, the 2023 Petit Gravet Aine has a deep garnet-purple color. It springs from the glass with fragrant notes of kirsch, redcurrant preserves, and red roses, leading to hints of lavender, pencil shavings, and menthol. Medium-bodied, the palate delivers energetic red berry and floral flavors, with a firm, grainy texture and great tension, finishing long and minerally. Beautiful!"

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "Flowers, orange rind, crushed stone, bright red fruits, and spice, with a hint of espresso, cherries, and red plums create the complex character here. This is quite salty, and vibrant, with ripeness, energy, and volume, but, the character remains reserved. This is going to be a gem if you give it time. Produced from 90% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot, making this one of the heaviest concentrations of Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux. Drink from 2029-2050."
