Château Graville Lacoste is more than just another Bordeaux estate; it’s a hidden gem, consistently delivering exceptional white Graves wines that punch far above their weight. Owned and meticulously managed by the charmingly unassuming Hervé Dubourdieu, this property embodies a quiet perfectionism.
The vineyards, originally planted by his father in 1951, are nestled in the Graves appellation, boasting those signature clay and limestone soils studded with prominent large stones. It’s this unique terroir, combined with a cooler microclimate, that allows their blends of Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, and a touch of Muscadelle to achieve a remarkable balance of freshness, minerality, and often, a surprising aromatic depth.
