The 2015 les Grands Chênes is a blend of 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Sauvignon. It has a crisp bouquet with blackberry, tar and graphite, well defined and quite elegant in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin and good depth of fruit with a clean and precise finish. This is a fine Médoc from Bernard Magrez’s portfolio, and it should drink well for several years. Anticipated maturity: 2020 - 2030.

The 2015 Les Grands Chênes is a pretty wine, but it also shows less depth from bottle than it did from barrel. There is good definition to the grilled herb, tobacco, plum and menthol flavors - just not quite the midpalate pliancy or overall persistence I expected. Tasted two times.

The 2015 les Grands Chênes is pale to medium garnet-purple in color with a nose of raspberries, dried Mediterranean herbs and tilled soil. Light to medium-bodied, it's relatively soft and fresh in the mouth, if a little light on fruit concentration and finish.

Gentle plum and blackberry compote notes glide through easily, infused with a warm tobacco accent. Reveals a light tug of cedar at the very end. Drink now through 2020. 24,667 cases made. –JM

Bright ripe red berries, tea and bracken lead to a palate that has smoothly rendered tannins and vibrant red-berry flavors. Delicious now. Drink or hold.

This is extremely dark in colour and feeling, showcasing the potential of Merlot honed on the left bank. Tight tannins abound, and the fruit is well fleshed out, with clear power underneath. A touch overoaked, meaning the finish is a little abrupt.

The 2015 Château les Grands Chenes is a blend of 74% Merlot and 26% Merlot picked between 28 September and 14 October at 45 hl/ha. It has a brisk and lively bouquet with blackberry and bilberry fruit, the oak nicely integrated, although I discern more sophistication at the moment with the La Tour Carnet, its Haut-Médoc "cousin." The palate is medium-bodied with thickset tannin, dense in the mouth and just feeling a little over-extracted towards the finish that struggles to free itself from the term - monolithic. There is a good wine here, but the La Tour Carnet shows the pedigree. Drink 2020-2040

Good fleshy, spicy fruit of good ripeness. Some complexity to come. 2019-2025

The 2015 Les Grands Chênes offers arguably the best value pound for pound of any of the wines in Bernard Magrez's stable. Black cherry, plum, smoke, licorice and dark spices abound. Virile and imposing, the 2015 is a big, intense wine with considerable personality. The tannins need to be polished a bit, but there is plenty to like. This is a strong effort for the year. The blend is 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Sauvignon.
