CH LES GRANDS CHENES 19

The origins of Château les Grands Chênes date back to 1880, but it was not until nearly a century later that it acquired international renown (the 1990 vintage won an award in London).
The property was bought in 1998 by the famous Bernard Magrez, with the objective of raising it to the top of the Médoc appellation. Five years later, in 2003, Château les Grands Chênes was awarded the title of Cru Bourgeois Supérieur!

Located in Saint-Christoly du Médoc, the vineyard covers 12 hectares of gravelly and clay-limestone soils. The grape varieties are essentially divided between Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (45%), supplemented by a small amount of Cabernet Franc (5%). The vines are about thirty years old on average.
