Graves is an important subregion of the Bordeaux wine region. Graves is situated on the left bank of the Garonne River, in the upstream part of the region, southeast of the city Bordeaux and stretches over 50 kilometres (31 mi). Graves is the only Bordeaux subregion famed for all three of Bordeaux's three main wine types although red wines dominate the total production. Graves AOC is also the name of one Appellation d'origine contrôlée (AOC) that covers most but not all of the Graves subregion.

Monthly data from NASA POWER (MERRA-2) at one point in the appellation. The current year is compared with the same months of a normal year (“so far”); its latest months are preliminary and revised by NASA later.
