A blend of 50% Semillon, 45% Sauvignon blanc and 5% Sauvignon Gris, aged in 50% new oak with lees stirring for 9 months Pale lemon with aromas of stone and tropical fruits with citrus and floral notes. On the palate flavors of apricot, apple and white peach with lemon rind and toasty nutty notes. Long finish ending crisp with fruit, oak and spicy notes. Should have good short term aging. — 4 years ago
Dark ruby, big mocha, chocolate, and raspberry on the nose. Heavy on the pallet with great gripping tannins. I love this wine. — 7 years ago
This wine won’t improve anymore with age. It’s 50% Merlot and 50% Cab. The wine is typical with cassis and plum. I believe this wine from other vintages or with more youth would be pretty lackluster but this was a good effort. — 4 years ago
This was a great big Italian wine, nice and dry. — 6 years ago
Un beau liquoreux de 2005 qui a maturé à merveille, des goûts de fruits confits, goûts d’agrumes. Un nez de réglisse noir discret et de fruits confits. De la cave à Thierry! — 8 months ago

Better than avg weeknight Bordeaux. Finished too chalky. Can Franc doesn’t shine through enough. — 5 years ago
The winemakers behind this blend know their job. How on Earth is Chantegrive still popular when you have Portets ? Subtle, fruity and palatable. Well worth a 11/10. — 9 years ago
