Note di degustazione
This is very solid with a beautiful core of blackberry, wet-earth and walnut character. Full body and a long and flavorful finish. One of the best in a long time. Better than 2014? Mar 2017, www.jamessuckling.com

60% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon. Scented, reasonably restrained. Thick and just lacks a little bit of freshness. Drying sandy finish. Apr 2017, www.jancisrobinson.com, Drink: 2024-2034
The 2016 Les Grands Chênes is bright, classy and super-polished, with striking energy to its red- and purplish-hued fruits. Grilled herbs, smoke, leather and iron overtones develop in the glass, adding further shades of complexity. The flavors are brisk and finely delineated in this super-expressive Médoc from Bernard Magrez. Les Grands Chênes is often one of the best values in Bordeaux, and the 2016 looks like it will continue that trend. Don't miss it. Apr 2017, www.vinous.com
The 2016 Chateau les Grands Chenes is a blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon picked from 5 to 18 October. It has a soft and rounded black cherry and red plum scented bouquet with a touch of orange blossom. The palate is sweet on the entry with grainy tannin, quite powerful, but the oak impedes a little towards the finish when other 2016s have demonstrated freshness and precision. Not bad, but this could have been better with more prudence. Apr 2017, www.robertparker.com
