Château Calvimont Graves red 2019 – 10 years Edition
10 years old…
To celebrate their 10 years at the helm of Château de Cérons, Xavier and Caroline Perromat have tailored new labels to the bottles of Château Calvimont.
A beautiful way to pay homage to the Marquis de Calvimont who made the property shine in the 18th century.
These bottles are an ode to the quality of the terroir of Cérons and Graves, to the diversity of the plants and to the beauty of the Gironde nature that has surrounded Xavier and Caroline since their childhood and to the finesse of the wines they make.
Immortelles and arbutus trees from the Arcachon basin, the big maple tree from the park of the Château de Cérons, present these creations in all their splendour.
2019 : Unpredictable and unusual weather! An exceptionally short, mild and rainy winter. Despite the early budding of the vines, we avoided the spring frosts of March, April and May.
The heat settles suddenly at the end of May and brings us into the summer period, which accelerates the development of the vines. Hot and dry summer. Stormy rains at the beginning of August allowed the grapes to ripen in ideal conditions with alternating hot, sunny days and cool nights.
The wines are ripe, rich and aromatic. They have sap and precision. 2019 is a wine of style and depth, a wine of balance, power and purity.
