Description
Located in the Côtes de Blaye, Château Les Grands Maréchaux is a 53-acre estate planted primarily to Merlot (84%), with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon rounding out the blend. The vineyard’s clay-limestone-sandy soils and youthful vines yield a fresh, vibrant style. Owned by Etienne Barre and Christophe Reboul Salze since 1997, the estate benefits from the expert guidance of Stéphane Derenoncourt, one of Bordeaux’s top consultants. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel, with malolactic fermentation in French oak barrels, resulting in polished, fruit-driven wines. With consistent quality and a modest price tag, this is one of Bordeaux’s best-kept value secrets.
