Reviews: 

94 Decanter

"Fresh and appealing summer berry fruit and soft floral aromatics on the nose ,cherry and raspberry. Smooth and supple, this carries its weight and energy nicely. Easy to approach with crunch and bite. Well defined, hints of spice and minerality. Gorgeous purity and ease to this, just so effortless and enjoyable. Not the longest or heaviest but really wows on the palate for its finesse. Great acidity and purity, it’s clean but still flavourful. Very impressive for a second wine. I love the ease and effortless nature, you couldn't not drink all of this. Delicious."

"This second-label wine is made from young Merlot vines. With dark tannin aromas and rich blackberry fruits, it is full of freshness, while the fruit is densely textured. Drink this ripe wine from 2027."

93 James Suckling

"A bright, fresh, lovely wine with hints of milk chocolate, cedar and plums as well as some meat. Medium body, fine tannins that are integrated and fluid. Pure merlot. Drink now but will improve with age."

93 The Wine Independent

"La Gravette de Certan 2021 is 100% Merlot. It is medium to deep garnet-purple in color and it jumps from the glass with notes of juicy black plums, boysenberries, and Morello cherries, with underlying suggestions of clove oil, allspice, and lavender oil. The medium-bodied palate delivers bags of bright, crunchy black and red fruits, supported by a racy line and ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long with a cheery lift."

91 Jane Anson

"Chalk, rose petals, sappy, plenty of red cherry, raspberry, black tea, tobacco, all wrapped up in soft tannins with a mouthwatering finish. Unfussy and well balanced, no chaptilisation here. Harvest September 24 to October 6."
