This Médoc produced by Château Les Grands Chenes can be considered a true benchmark for the Bordeaux appellation. It comes from a common blend of 60% Merlot grapes with Cabernet Sauvignon. Vinification in small temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, at the end of processing the wine is left to mature in classic French oak barrels for no less than 16 months. The result is a wine characterized by a beautiful, decidedly dark and impenetrable ruby red color. On the nose, distinct hints of dark fruits, such as blackberry, and flowers, such as violets and peonies. Then delicate hints of licorice and chocolate. In the mouth there is a perfect correspondence with what was perceived earlier, with ripe fruit notes mingling with violet nuances and delicate hints of licorice. Its ideal pairing is undoubtedly meat. Try it, for example, with tasty pork chops.
