Reseña profesional
Les Grandes Murailles is a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé estate inextricably linked to the imposing remains (“murailles” means walls) of a medieval Dominican monastery on the western edge of Saint-Emilion town. The estate also covers production of Château Côte de Baleau – a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classé in its own right.
The Château Les Grandes Murailles vineyard lies at the foot of the aforementioned remains, covering 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) immediately west of Saint-Emilion, and just over the road from the highly regarded Clos Fourtet vineyard. The vineyard is planted solely to Merlot on typical Saint-Emilion plateau soils of clayey limestone.
The resulting wine is 100 percent Merlot aged in predominantly new French oak barriques. Around 6,500 bottles are produced annually.
