Introduction:
The Château Fage Graves de Vayres Rouge is a beautifully balanced red Bordeaux that captures the essence of the Right Bank’s gravelly terroir. With richness, approachability, and structure, this wine is a dependable and expressive example of classic Bordeaux blending.

Terrior:
The vineyards lie in the Graves de Vayres appellation, between Libourne and the Dordogne River, where gravelly, sandy-clay soils provide excellent drainage and warmth. These conditions favor Merlot’s soft texture, while supporting the structure and aromatic complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. The maritime climate allows for even ripening and contributes to the wine’s freshness and balance.

Appearance:
Deep ruby with a garnet hue and clear brightness. Moderate viscosity suggests good extract and aging potential.

Nose:
Ripe red and black fruits lead—think plum, cassis, and cherry—followed by hints of baking spice, subtle cedar, and dried herbs. Underlying earthy tones and a touch of graphite provide a distinctly Bordeaux aromatic fingerprint.

Palate:
Medium-bodied and supple, with silky tannins and rounded acidity. Flavors of black cherry, dark raspberry, and blackberry mingle with notes of cocoa, leather, and clove. The oak is well-integrated, adding structure without overpowering the fruit.

Finish:
Polished and lingering, with elegant echoes of ripe fruit, forest floor, and a touch of spice. Smooth tannins and balanced acidity carry the finish gracefully.

Overall Impression:
This is a classic Graves de Vayres red—elegant, versatile, and true to its terroir. A wine that punches above its weight in quality, it’s ideal for both casual drinking and food pairing, with enough complexity to satisfy seasoned Bordeaux drinkers.
