Château de Chantegrive is a family-owned estate in Graves, Bordeaux, founded in 1966 by Henri and Françoise Lévêque and now managed by their daughter Marie-Hélène Lévêque. With about 95 hectares of vineyards, it produces approximately 300,000 bottles annually. The estate holds High Environmental Value (HEV) certification since 2017, emphasizing sustainable practices such as cover crops, biodiversity preservation (including a bird sanctuary and honey production), and soil revitalization. Winemaking has been guided since 2006 by consultant oenologist Hubert de Bouârd, focusing on precise, plot-by-plot vinification and aging in oak to achieve elegant, consistent wines.
