2020 Grands Chênes

The vineyard of Château Les Grands Chênes is located on the edge of the remains of an ancient fortress from the 16th century. This fortress is the witness of the historical dynamism in the international business trade of the Médoc region. It is in Saint-Christoly-du-Médoc, a town once known for its port which still seems to echo with the sound of barrels being rolled along the quays before setting off for England and other more-distant destinations, that the vines of Château Les Grands Chênes are to be found. Ideally planted on a fine ridge of Garonne gravel, Château Les Grands Chênes makes the most of this very high quality terroir. Judiciously aged for 16 months according to the traditional method, Château Les Grands Chênes is a great wine for those in the know, a privilege for wine lovers who like to make great discoveries.
