[SOLD-OUT] Chateau les Grands Marechaux 2016

ONE GREAT VINTAGE. ONE SUPERSTAR WINEMAKER. IT'S LITTLE WONDER THIS MERLOT DOMINANT BORDEAUX OVERPERFORMS FOR PRICE

 

"Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2016 Les Grands Marechaux bursts out of the glass with notions of blueberry compote, blackberry preserves and crushed black plums plus suggestions of violets, tobacco and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, the palate has an impressive texture of very fine-grained tannins and bold freshness nicely framing the intense black fruit flavors, finishing on a perfumed note." - Lisa Perroti-Brown, Wine Advocate

"There’s a lot to like about the depth in this wine, from the aromas of violets and purple berries to the sleek, succulent and energetic feel of the palate. This has focus and persistence." - James Suckling

 

"Since purchasing Château Les Grands Maréchaux, the current owners have been blessed with a run of spectacular vintages, including the one that created this claret. It bestowed winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt with perfectly ripe fruit on which to work his magic. Stéphane’s a legend in Bordeaux, having worked at many top Saint Emilion estates including La Mondotte, Canon La Gaffelière and Pavie Macquin.

This is an exceptional vintage of Les Grands Maréchaux. Strict vineyard management under the advice of Derenoncourt helps bring out this claret's rich mulberry, plum, cedar and incense character. Superb and affordable. A fine petit château claret from a celebrated vintage, Les Grands Maréchaux is tasty now, and will develop given time. Enjoy with a Sunday roast, venison casserole or fowl such as pheasant or partridge." Chateau Les Grands Marechaux
