Notes of red and black currants, tobacco, earth, and some subtle, exotic blood orange notes emerge from the 2018 Château Le Bonnat, which is medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, and has moderate tannins. It's a charming Graves to drink over the coming decade. This cuvée comes primarily from more clay soils.

This ripe, delicious and fruity Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend has enough acidity and tannins to give it a good future. Densely structured now, its richness will allow it to develop well. Drink from 2022.
