Tasting profile
Structure: full-bodied, high tannin, medium acidity, dry
Château Grand Chêne is a family-owned Brulhois estate whose wine is made and bottled by Les Vignerons du Brulhois at Donzac, and it sits at the top of the cooperative's range. The blend is led by Merlot and Tannat with Malbec, the Cabernets and the local Abouriou; it gets a long maceration, and most of it spends a year in French oak. Dense and dark: blackcurrant and black fruit with leather, forest floor and toasty oak, on firm but velvety tannins. A wine for duck and grilled meats, best within about six years.
