2015 is one of the greatest Bordeaux vintages of the modern era — a year of near-perfect growing conditions that produced wines of exceptional concentration, balance, and longevity across the entire left bank, and that the finest critics and collectors have been watching with growing excitement ever since. A decade on from the harvest, these wines are entering a golden window of drinking: the tannins softened, the fruit deepened and complexed by age, and the full character of the vintage beginning to reveal itself with a completeness and beauty that only time can produce. Château La Gravette Lacombe is a Cru Bourgeois estate of ten hectares situated in the heart of Lesparre-Médoc, north of Saint-Estèphe — in the quieter, less celebrated northern reaches of the Médoc appellation, where the gravelly soils and the maritime influence of the Gironde estuary create conditions of real quality and character for the classic Bordeaux varieties. The blend is a textbook left bank composition: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon for structure, depth, and longevity; 28% Merlot for roundness and generosity; and 2% Petit Verdot for that characteristic spiced complexity and depth of colour that the variety uniquely contributes. The 2015 is a wine of real distinction: dark bramble fruit — blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum — fused with cedar spice and the subtle, savoury complexity that a decade of careful ageing brings. Structured, elegant, and drinking beautifully right now — yet with the depth and balance to continue evolving for years to come. At £31.99, it is aged Cru Bourgeois Bordeaux at its most compelling and complete.
