Château Les Grands Chênes Médoc AOC LGC6 – Limited Edition (Blend of 6 best Vintages)

The first plantation in the history of the Château Les Grands Chênes, named Cru Bourgeois Supérieur, took place in 1880. This property was one of the first acquired by Bernard Magrez in the Médoc vineyards. This castle is often considered as “The Pearl of the Medoc”. It is located on the famous gravelly ridge of Saint Christoly du Médoc and is built around an old fortress dating from the sixteenth century.

LGC 6 answers a simple question: what happens if you take the estate’s six finest vintages and assemble them in one bottle? 2005, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2015 and 2016. 690 bottles produced, presented in a Unique & Exceptionnelle gift case.

This wine belongs to no single harvest. Each year contributes what it alone can give — structure, opulence, freshness, precision.

It is the rarest format in the Médoc range and the most direct way to show what the estate can do across a decade.
