Château de Chantegrive is one of the largest wine estates in the Graves appellation, in the commune of Podensac, with 97 hectares (240 acres) of vines. It is a member of the Union des Grands Crus de Bordeaux. The château produces red and rosé wines from Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as white wines based on Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon from 10 hectares (25 acres) of 30+ year-old vines.
In 1966, Henri and Françoise Lévêque purchased some vineyards around the village of Podensac and gradually set about creating the Chantegrive estate. The baton has now been passed to the younger generation, and the progress continues.
The Cuvée Caroline is their white wine produced from 12 hectares of vines. The juice is fermented in barrels and then aged in new Allier oak casks for nine months, with regular stirring of the lees to enrich the wine. A recent clutch of awards bears testimony to the exciting quality of wine being made here and the recognition it deserves.
