The Graves appellation is located to the south-west of the city of Bordeaux, on the left bank of the Garonne. It covers 3,600 ha, with 2/3 of its production being reds made from Cabernet Sauvignon (approximately 70%) and Merlot, and 1/3 whites made from Sémillon (which brings richness, notes of honey and dried fruits) and Sauvignon Blanc (citrus notes and vivacity). Protected by the Landes forest, this terroir is planted on a subsoil of clay, sand, alios and limestone, and a surface soil of gravel and pebbles rolled by the waters of the ancient courses of the Garonne, whose quartz reflects the sun's rays and contributes to better ripening of the grapes. The reds are rather austere, mineral, smoky and distinguished, capable of long ageing; the whites display notes of flowers and citrus fruits that evolve over time toward candied fruit, acacia and pine. The Pessac-Léognan appellation, to the north of Graves, was established in 1987, and its wines may benefit from the Graves appellation. The classified growths of Graves are located there (Château Haut-Brion, Château Carbonnieux, Domaine de Chevalier, Château Couhins, Château de Fieuzal, Château Haut-Bailly, Château Pape Clément, Château Smith Haut Lafitte …).
