2005 de Grandchamp, Montagne-St-Émilion
Notes
Château de Grandchamp sits on the hillside above Parsac in Montagne Saint-Émilion, where Gonzague Maurice farms ten hectares of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon on clay-limestone soils. The estate has been worked organically since 2010, though certification was dropped due to cost. Vines are densely planted, grassed between rows, and ploughed in alternation, with strict triage in vineyard and cellar to keep only clean, ripe fruit. Fermentations take place in small concrete tanks, followed by aging in tank and older barrels to keep the focus on fruit. The carved figure on the label comes from an eighteenth-century tower in the vineyard, tied to the historic pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela.
