Château Crabitey AOC Graves 2019A beautifully crafted Bordeaux blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, this wine is a great example of the Graves region. Aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, with one third new oak, it strikes a perfect balance between fruit expression and subtle oak influence.
