92 Points James Suckling

Owned by renowned Bordeaux vintner Bernard Magrez and crafted with the guidance of celebrated consultant Michel Rolland, Château Les Grands Chênes 2016 is a classic Left Bank Bordeaux from the outstanding 2016 vintage. A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, it offers inviting aromas of ripe red berries, blackberry, plum, cedar, baking spice, and subtle graphite. The palate is rich and beautifully balanced with polished tannins, vibrant acidity, and a long finish layered with dark fruit, cocoa, and hints of tar and spice. Grown on Garonne gravel soils in Saint-Christoly-du-Médoc, this expressive Médoc delivers outstanding quality and value.
