Chateau de Chantegrive was established in 1966 when Henri and Francoise Leveque decided to sell their stamp collection to purchase two hectares of land in the Graves region of Bordeaux, France. They believed strongly that the terroir there was perfect for winegrowing. 50 years and 96 hectares later, Chateau de Chantegrive is a Grand cru Class vineyard run by the Leveque’s daughter Marie Helene Leveque and her brothers and sisters. -Chateau Chantegrive
