This wine ranks naturally alongside the Grand Cru Classé wines of Bernard Magrez: Château Pape Clément, Château La Tour Carnet, Château Fombrauge and Clos Haut Peyraguey. Situated in exceptional terroir and for too many years overlooked, this estate was given a new lease of life by Bernard Magrez. It was a project that he had mulled over for 10 years. During that time, he had searched for that special gem, that outstanding terroir in which a great wine could be born, and he finally found it on the famous hill of Saint Christoly-du-Médoc, which overlooks the spot where the river meets the ocean. He invested all his savoir-faire and passion in the new project, just as he had done at his 4 Grand Cru Classé estates. Today, this estate has achieved international acclaim for both its special qualities and its value for money, making it one of the most attractive wines produced in Bordeaux. Today a rising star of the Médoc, Château Les Grands Chênes is sought-after by wine enthusiasts. The outstanding quality of its wine has won the plaudits of all the fine wine connoisseurs over more than twenty years. Classified as one of the top Médoc Cru Bourgeois growths more than ten years ago, Château Les Grands Chênes has continued to gain awards and win medals at the leading national and international wine challenges and to earn the recognition of the most prestigious wine guides.
