Description
A rich and fresh Médoc red wine
The estate
Owned by Bernard Magrez, Château Les Grands Chênes is located in the Médoc region, in Saint-Christoly du Médoc, on the left bank of Bordeaux. The estate's vineyard was built around a fortress dating from the 16th century.
The vineyard
Château Les Grands Chênes 2021 is a Médoc wine that stems from a 46-hectare vineyard. The vines are 40 years old on average and are planted on Garonne gravel soils.
The vintage
The warm, wet winter preceded a cool, rainy spring marked by frost. The summer is cool and humid.
Vinification and ageing
Manual sorting of the grapes on a vibrating table. Vinification by plot in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with selected yeasts, followed by pumping over to control extraction. Vatting time for 28 to 30 days. Aged for 14 months in vats (50%), barrels (45%, of which 50% are new) and jars (5%).
The blend
