Decanter: This white Graves opens with soft, inviting aromas of nougat, a touch of herbal tea, and white stone fruit. The palate shows energy and freshness, with bright acidity carrying notes of sweet lime and a subtle saline edge. There is a pleasing richness to the texture, yet it remains poised and never heavy. A beautifully balanced and highly successful white, ageing in 50% new oak."

James Suckling: Medium to full body, with length and texture but driven by the acidity. Incisive but with balance of a dense aspect."

Falstaff: Helles Gelbgrün, Silberreflexe. Nuancen von Limetten und Stachelbeeren, floraler Touch, ein Hauch von Litschi. Saftig, reifer grüner Apfel, frischer Säurebogen, feine Fruchtsüße, balanciert und anhaftend, vielseitig einsetzbar."

Jeb Dunnuck: A richer, elegant white, the 2025 Château De Chantegrive Caroline Blanc offers honeyed peach, orange blossom, and spicy brioche nuances on the nose. Based on 58% Sauvignon Blanc, 40% Sémillon, and 2% Sauvignon Gris, aged nine months in 50% new oak, it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a nicely balanced mouthfeel and outstanding length. It checks in at 13% alcohol with a pH of 3.5. Drink this lovely Graves Blanc over the coming couple of years. Drink 2026-2028."

Wine Advocate: The 2025 Caroline, a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, offers up a fresh, expressive bouquet of dark berries, cassis and blueberry. Medium-bodied, juicy and round, it’s elegant and fresh, with a juicy profile and a tensile mid-palate, concluding with a slightly structuring finish."
