Domaine La Grave Merlot 2023

Domaine La Grave is a family-run vineyard in the south of Minervois, Languedoc, run by the Orosquette family who bring generations of vine-growing experience to the estate. The vineyards overlook the Canal du Midi, and sustainable agriculture — certified Terra Vitis — is the rule of the property. As Jean-François puts it: “It was common sense before it became a philosophy. The man who lives on his land and breathes it every day, he can feel the life in it.”
