Château Couhins Lurton 'La Gravette de Certan' Pessac Léognan 2014
Vintage Character
Château Couhins La Gravette 2014 is the second wine of Château Couhins, crafted with the same meticulous care as the Grand Vin but intended for earlier enjoyment. From the gravelly rises of Pessac-Léognan, this blend of Merlot (49%), Cabernet Sauvignon (40%), and Cabernet Franc (7%) delivers a classic Graves profile. The 2014 vintage in Bordeaux was shaped by a cool, damp summer followed by a warm, dry September and October, conditions that allowed grapes to ripen fully and produced wines with freshness, aromatic clarity, and fine tannic structure.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
In the glass, La Gravette reveals aromas of raspberry, blackcurrant, and cedar, accented by subtle earthy and smoky notes. The palate is supple yet structured, with smooth tannins, refined fruit, and a lingering finish of spice and minerality. Its balance of fruit and savory depth makes it a versatile partner for dishes such as roast chicken with herbs, grilled lamb chops, or a creamy mushroom pasta.
Winery Background
Château Couhins, located in Villenave d’Ornon at the southern gateway to Bordeaux, is a classified growth of Graves with a distinctive history. The estate was acquired in 1968 by INRAE (the French National Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Research), which preserved the vineyard and transformed it into a model for sustainable viticulture. Today, Château Couhins is recognized for its pioneering work in environmentally friendly practices, agroecology, and precision vineyard management, combining scientific research with traditional Bordeaux savoir-faire. The estate has embraced biodiversity initiatives, organic conversion, and innovative vineyard stewardship, underscoring its role as both a research hub and a producer of fine wines. La Gravette reflects this philosophy, offering a wine that is authentic to its terroir while embodying a forward-looking approach to viticulture.
