Château Les Grandes Murailles Saint Emilion gcc. 2005 0,75l

Château Les Grandes Murailles is a tiny Grand Cru Classé in Saint‑Émilion, with just under two hectares of vines on the famous limestone plateau close to Clos Fourtet. The vineyard is planted almost entirely with Merlot rooted in sandy‑clay soils over solid limestone, giving naturally low yields. Everything is hand harvested and vinified in small lots before careful ageing in French oak. The bouquet offers ripe red and black fruit, floral notes and a distinct chalky edge. On the palate Les Grandes Murailles is silky yet structured, with cool fruit, fine limestone‑driven tannins, bright acidity and a long, very elegant finish.

Ageing in French oak supports the ripe Merlot fruit and gives the wine added depth and supple structure.

Château Les Grandes Murailles

Beneath the limestone spine of Saint-Émilion, Château Les Grandes Murailles stands beside the remnants of a medieval Dominican wall, turning history into part of its identity on the Right Bank. Classified as Grand Cru Classé, the estate is built on a minute, almost clos-like parcel where Merlot dominates clay-limestone soils of rare precision and old Saint-Émilion gravity. That scale defines the philosophy. Hand harvesting, strict sorting, stainless-steel vinification and élevage in barrel shape a Saint-Émilion of structure rather than display. Nothing here feels exaggerated; the estate speaks through proportion, texture and mineral cadence. Even its name seems apt: a winegrowing site framed by stone, memory and discipline, where depth is never theatrical and pedigree is expressed with quiet authority and lasting cultural resonance.
