In Three Words: Smooth, Rich, Aromatic Château du Grand Bos is located in Castres, in a part of the Graves appellation where one finds some of the oldest Bordeaux vineyards dating from 2,000 years ago.
The vineyard, whose soil is composed of very deep gravel, ceased being cultivated in the 1950’s, and over time, the winery was renovated and vineyards replanted, growing to 18.5 hectares with 15 hectares in red grapes and 3.5 hectares in white grapes. Vines average 30 years old. Today, André’s granddaughter Lou Rochet runs the property, and since 2020 the vineyards are in conversion to organic certification. The wine is a blend of almost equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with small amounts of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot added in; extremely smooth on the attack, it demonstrates great richness, aromatic complexity, and a sound structure.
