Château les Graves de Viaud Côtes de Bourg Cuvée Origine Bio 2016

Château les Graves de Viaud Côtes de Bourg Cuvée Origine Bio 2016 is a characterful Bordeaux red from the right bank of the Gironde, offering classic regional structure with an appealing balance of ripe fruit and freshness. Made from Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, it reflects the distinctive style of Côtes de Bourg—an appellation valued for expressive, food-friendly wines with excellent quality for the price. The château’s certified biodynamic approach adds further interest to this traditionally rooted cuvée.

Tasting Notes
The wine is expected to show a deep ruby to garnet colour, with the development that comes from bottle age. On the nose, look for ripe black fruit, plum and red berry notes alongside subtle hints of herbs, spice and earthy undertones. The palate should combine Merlot’s roundness with the Cabernet varieties’ structure, offering mature fruit, balanced acidity and fine, gently developing tannins. As a 2016 Bordeaux, this wine is well suited to drinking now, while careful storage may allow further evolution over the next few years. Its precise drinking window will depend on the bottle’s provenance and storage conditions.

Production
The vineyards of Château les Graves de Viaud are cultivated according to certified biodynamic principles. The vines grow on sandy and gravelly soils, which provide effective drainage and help bring elegance, freshness and aromatic depth to the wines. The blend includes Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon; the available information confirms traditional Bordeaux vinification, but does not specify the exact proportions or maturation details for the 2016 cuvée.

Food & Serving
Serve at approximately 16–18°C with roast lamb, grilled or braised beef, duck, game birds and hearty mushroom dishes. It also pairs naturally with mature hard cheeses. Decanting for 30–60 minutes is recommended if the wine shows youthful structure or sediment, while older bottles should be opened carefully and decanted only shortly before serving.
