Château Le Grand VerdusGénération - Bordeaux SupérieurHarvests per vine plot, sorting table, gentle fermentation for supple tannins, careful pumping over, 28/30°C maceration, for 3 weeks in average. Gentle pneumatic pressing. Malolactic in stainless steel tanks. Ageing 13 months in French oak barrels. None is new, but 1 to 3 years old. Limited racking for better fruit freshness. Light fining before filtration.
Emphasizing a higher Cabernet- Franc proportion for Bordeaux,wonderful but erratic grape, this wine is a blend of youth, wisdom and experience, such as the successive family Generations that have crafted it. Selection is achieved by
successive tasting of every vat after fermentation and reflects the family perception of the vintage. A full wine with soft tannins, finishing long, complex and aromatic. Enjoy, over a period of 5 to 8 years, preferably decanted. Best with a pork roast, beefsteak or a selection of cheese. As simple as that!
