"This ripe wine is full of great fruit aromas and flavors. The tannins are generous and rich, supported by rounded black-plum and -berry fruits. It should cellar well through the medium term."

Overview:
Chateau Les Grands Chenes, located in the Medoc appellation of Bordeaux has been producing wine since 1880. Prior to its use as a vineyard, Les Grands Chenes was originally used as a fort during the 16th century.
The estate was purchased in 1981 by Jacqueline Gauzy Darricade. Jacqueline Darricade was a dedicated owner who spent both much of her time and a lot of money on improving the property before it was sold to Bernard Magrez in 1998.
After purchasing the estate, Bernard Magrez also invested heavily in the property. It is interesting to note that from 1998 until to 2002, the estate produced a high end cuvee. But that special wine was discontinued in 2002. Those vines were placed back into the Grand Vin, to improve the quality of the main wine.
