Thanks to the patient reconstruction work carried out by Françoise and Henri
Lévêque over the last 40 years, Château de Chantegrive has become a superb
vineyard with excellent soils composed of a mixture of pebbles and fine sand
on a clay-limestone structure. The vines are over 30 years old and are
mostly planted on south-facing terraces and hilltops which provide excellent
exposure to the sun and good ventilation - ideal for making quality wines.
Château Chantegrive is managed by a pleasant family who are devoted to their
profession, take the greatest care in their work and are attentive to the
customer and the quality of the wines produced. "We like to produce elegant,
top-quality wines with strong local character", says Françoise Lévêque. Their
Caroline is a prestigious wine. We are quickly charmed by this rich,
intense wine, matured in new barrels, with its lovely golden colour and
intense, elegant nose of vanilla, fresh butter, lemon, griled almond and
lime. The wine is smooth with a clean attack in the mouth dominated by fruit
and flesh.
