Château Le Grand Verdus Grande Reserve, 2007

CHÂTEAU LE GRAND VERDUS - Thomas Le Grix de la Salle

The vineyard of Château Le Grand Verdus is located in the heart of a preserved hilly landscape, in the AOC Bordeaux Supérieur area, between the areas of Médoc, Graves and Saint-Emilion, at the gateway to the Entre-Deux-Mers region (between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers), 20 km east of Bordeaux city. The superb country 16th-century Renaissance residence has been in the hands of the same family since 1810 – four generations of the Le Grix de la Salle family, all fired by the same passion for wine.Now with Thomas at the helm, the estate has taken a new dimension, combining generations of wine making know how with modern techniques.

The Grande Reserve is made of 90% Merlot and has matured for 14 months in oak barrels (40% new) and is a powerful but luscious wine.
