Les Grands Chenes Médoc, 2020

Les Grands Chênes Médoc 2020 is a classic Bordeaux red that brings together Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in a polished, approachable style. Sourced from the Médoc in Bordeaux, it offers the structure and character you’d expect from this historic region, with enough balance and charm to make it enjoyable now or after a few years in bottle.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep ruby colour with youthful purple reflections. The nose leans toward blackcurrant, ripe plum, cedar, and subtle tobacco, with a touch of spice and earthy depth. On the palate, Cabernet Sauvignon provides backbone and dark fruit, while Merlot adds roundness and softness, creating a wine with medium to full body, firm tannins, and good freshness. The finish is balanced and persistent, and while it can be appreciated in its youth, it should also develop nicely over the next several years, gaining more nuance and complexity.

Production
Produced in the Médoc, one of Bordeaux’s most respected red-wine areas, this blend reflects the region’s gravelly soils and temperate Atlantic influence, both of which favour Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The grapes are typically harvested with an eye toward optimal ripeness, then vinified using traditional Bordeaux methods to preserve fruit purity, structure, and regional character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs well with roast lamb, grilled beef, duck, mushroom dishes, and hard cheeses. Serve at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for 30–60 minutes if drinking young to help the tannins open up and the aromas fully express themselves.

Producer
Les Grands Chênes is associated with Bordeaux’s long-standing tradition of producing structured, food-friendly reds that reflect the character of the Médoc. While detailed producer background is limited here, the name itself sits comfortably within the region’s heritage of Cabernet-led blends and quality-focused winemaking.
