GRAVES

This area lies from the surrounding district to Bordeaux

down to a point some 13 miles south of the town and

stretches some 5| miles in width, and includes all the

districts on the left bank of the River Garonne between

Sauternes and Bordeaux the town.

The area produces both red and white wines, some very

fine wines. The name Graves was first given to the wines

of Bordeaux which were grown on the gravelly soil. This

was before the classification of 1855, when the area was

split up into districts.
