• Jeb Dunnuck: The 2008 Château Gracia is one of the wines of the vintage. Possessing an explosive nose of ripe blackcurrants, truffles, spice box, and dried herbs, this beauty hits the palate with beautiful amounts of fruit, a deep, opulent texture, notable freshness, and a finish that won’t quit. This is a brilliant 2008 that dishes out tons of pleasure.

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.
