Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: A sleeper of the vintage from sculptor Michel Gracia, this 2007 was cropped at 21 hectoliters per hectare, but there is hardly any of it. A blend of 90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, it reveals abundant notes of crushed rocks, acacia flowers, blueberries, and black raspberries in a medium to full-bodied, intensely concentrated style with no hard edges. Drink it over the next decade or more.

• James Suckling: Dark red. Currant, musky herbs, medicinal licorice and a whiff of black olive on the nose. Supple, sweet and easygoing, with a lightly herbal quality and good energy to the redcurrant and tobacco flavors. Finishes with dusty tannins and moderate persistence.

Producer Information

Gracia is the true, original Garage wine! It is produced inside the picturesque village of St. Emilion in a small space, located on a tiny back alley that is next to a working garage. The small, stone building is not marked. There are no signs. If you know where it is, you can recognize it best by its old, faded, red, wood door. The estate is owned by Michel Gracia. Michel Gracia is an interesting man, who knows everyone and everything about Saint Emilion. In part, that is because he is also a contractor and stonemason that has worked for many of the top estates including Chateau Cheval Blanc, Petrus, and several other well-known properties in the region. Thanks to prodding by Jean Luc Thunevin of Valandraud and Alain Vauthier of Chateau Ausone, Michel Gracia founded his winery in 1994, when he purchased a small, 1.5-hectare parcel of vines in great terroir that is located close to Chateau Troplong Mondot. The difficult 1997 marked the debut vintage for Gracia.
