Château Les Grands Chênes – Médoc – Red – 2016 – 3000 ml:

 

Château Les Grands Chênes: A Cru Bourgeois of Grandeur

Hailing from the gravelly slopes of Médoc, Château Les Grands Chênes stands as an exemplar of Left Bank excellence. This Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, under the guidance of Bordeaux icon Bernard Magrez, is consistently lauded for its depth and finesse. The vineyard’s ideal terroir and a meticulous vinification process-including up to 18 months in French oak-yield a wine of impressive structure, concentration, and true aging capability, a wine that truly punches above its classification.

Tasting Notes

• Colour: Intense, dark ruby.
• Aroma: Rich bouquet of cassis, blackcurrant, and cedar, complemented by spicy notes of tobacco, graphite, and a touch of violet.
• Taste: Generous and powerful on the palate. The texture is velvety, with polished tannins that carry the dark fruit core through a substantial and lengthy finish. It delivers the classic Médoc structure with an appealing modern richness.

Serving Suggestion

Best served following a short decanting period (45-60 minutes) at a temperature of 17°C. This is the quintessential accompaniment to a traditional British Sunday Roast or a fine game dish.
