WINERY HISTORY

The first plantation in the history of the Château Les Grands Chênes, named Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, took place in 1880. This property was one of the first acquired by Bernard Magrez in the Médoc vineyards. This castle is often considered as “The Pearl of the Medoc”. It is located on the famous gravelly ridge of Saint Christoly du Médoc and is built around an old fortress dating from the sixteenth century. The grape variety consists of 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc.

WINE MAKING PROCESSES

Gravity cuvaison is applied in low volume thermo-regulated vats, which allow to vinify each plot separately. The breeding is done mainly in new barrels during 18 months. Most of the vats are made of wood. The malolactic fermentation is carried out in new French oak barrels.
