Chateau Le Grand is a family-owned vineyard and winery founded over 100 years ago. The estate is located in the Blaye appellation which is the northern-most growing region in Bordeaux’s Right Bank, with big names like Pomerol & St. Emilion are located just to the South. Merlot is the main grape of the region, and produces excellent, approachable wines at unbeatable prices.

Mostly Merlot, with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Malbec and aged in cement vats. Generous, ripe and fruit forward aromas of dark currant, blackberry, cassis, mint, and spice with touches of earthiness. The medium bodied palate has nice balanced aromas supported by refined, textured tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is savory with earthy flavors and very good length. Great for this price!
