Chateau Crabitey Graves Rouge

About this wine

Nestled in the prestigious Graves region of Bordeaux, Château Crabitey’s story is as rich as the wine it produces. Founded in 1872 by Franciscan nuns who planted vines to support orphans, this historic estate has passed through generations, each adding its own layer of care and refinement. Today, under the stewardship of Arnaud de Butler, Château Crabitey stands as a symbol of tradition and excellence, with its vineyards flourishing in deep gravel soils near the cooling Garonne River.

In the glass, Château Crabitey Graves Rouge, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Semillon, dazzles with its deep cherry hue, glinting ruby in the light. On the nose, fresh aromas of red berries unfold, complemented by elegant notes of oak. Each sip offers a powerful yet balanced experience—ripe red fruits, smooth tannins, and a touch of oak lingering in the finish. It’s a wine that embodies the harmony of terroir and meticulous winemaking

With its long history, stunning complexity, and the unique minerality of its Graves terroir, Château Crabitey Graves Rouge is more than a wine—it’s a bridge between tradition and modern Bordeaux excellence. Whether paired with a celebratory feast or enjoyed on a quiet evening, it’s sure to leave a lasting impression.
