Chateau Le Grand Verdus Grande Reserve 2010
Château Le Grand Verdus has over 115 acres of vineyards and they maintain their winery in the hills of Entre Deux Mers, 12 miles east of Bordeaux, near Saint-Emilion. Since 1810, the Le Grix de la Salle family has owned this superb Renaissance manor, which dates back to 1579. The family has passed the secret of genuine Bordeaux winemaking from generation to generation.
Grande Réserve is a wine that proves that a great Bordeaux does not have to be prohibitively expensive. This wine is produced from the estate’s best plots planted with old vines and with as much care as the most prestigious Grands Crus de Bordeaux. The 2010 vintage has a solid fruit structure with a deep color, silky tannins and a rich finish packed with plum fruit and spice.
Merlot 82%
Cabernet Sauvignon 18%
Recommended aging:
3-15 years in the cellar. Decant 1-2 hours before drinking.
