Château Couhins 'La Gravette' Pessac Léognan Rouge 2014
Vintage Character
Château Couhins 'La Gravette' Pessac Léognan Rouge 2014 reflects a Bordeaux season transformed by its late sunshine. A cool, unsettled summer slowed ripening, but warm, largely dry weather from late August through autumn gave the grapes more time to mature. Across Pessac-Léognan, this recovery brought ripe fruit while preserving the freshness associated with the cooler summer. The vintage's appeal lies in that contrast: satisfying fruit and supple texture, with acidity that keeps the wine composed rather than heavy. Its 13.5% alcohol supports a measured, classical balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
Cherry, plum and raspberry form the aromatic core, with a light mint-like lift adding definition to the fruit. The palate is rounded and approachable, carrying its fruit through an elegant finish rather than relying on sheer weight. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc contribute to this red blend, combining a generous centre with a more structured outline. Roast chicken with herbs, grilled lamb or mushroom pasta would suit its balance of fruit and freshness. A moderate serving temperature will help preserve the aromatic detail, while gentle handling is sensible for a bottle that has spent time in the cellar.
Winery Background
La Gravette is the second wine of Château Couhins, the Pessac-Léognan estate acquired by INRA in 1968. Its identity is closely connected with the meeting of wine production and viticultural research. The estate has worked on sustainable vineyard management since 1999, combining practical growing experience with scientific investigation. That long-standing attention to vineyard health provides the background to La Gravette, an accessible expression of the property's Bordeaux character with a clear connection to its parent estate.
