Product Ratings

James Suckling 90pt

A juicy and vibrant red that goes deep on dark cherries, blackberries, toasted spices and walnuts. Medium-bodied with polished tannins and vivid acidity. The finish is smooth, with a chocolaty character. Drink or hold.

Vinous Media 90pt

The 2022 Chateau Fage has a lifted nose with nicely integrated oak and redcurrant, boysenberry and light violet scents. The palate is medium-bodied and quite fresh, with pliant tannins, well-judged acidity and gentle grip on the finish. This is a well-crafted Graves de Vayres that comes recommended.

Lively plum and cherry fruit is mixed with a brambly hint. Savory and bay accents on the finish. This elegant wine with a beautiful finesse on the palate and a good length offers a very nice potential. Charming!
