Château les Grandes Murailles Grand Cru Classé 2014

The wine

Across the two hectares of vines owned by Château Les Grandes Murailles, Merlot, the flagship grape of the region and the Libournais, reigns supreme. It draws its nobility from the clay and limestone soil, which itself rests on a limestone subsoil. The Cuvelier family, who run the château, nurture the grapes with loving care, and harvest them by hand. Manual harvesting ensures that the grapes are rigorously sorted before the vinification process, which is overseen by two top winemakers: Stéphane Derenoncourt and Jean-Claude Berrouet. This process is conducted in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats (containers that help preserve the brightness and freshness of the fruit). As for malolactic fermentation, it is initiated in barrels. Once this is complete, the wine is matured in new barrels for 18 to 20 months. These containers impart elegance to the wine, but most importantly, fine tannins and complex notes of sweet spices and precious wood. A limited production of 7,000 bottles is released each year, truly worthy of a few years of cellaring.
