Bordeaux red wine - Import export

Saint Emilion Grand Cru Blend: Merlot - Cabernet Sauvignon - Cabernet Franc Ageing potential: Approximately 20 years Vinification : Harvested by hand, the grapes are destemmed and then sorted by densimetric bath. This is followed by a week's pre-fermentation cold maceration and 10 days' alcoholic fermentation, during which the grapes are pumped over and the cap punched down. The wine is run off and then pressed before ageing for 15 months: 60% in new barrels and 40% in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats.

Dating back to the 1980’s, Grand Bateau is the fruit of the collaboration between Maison Barrière and Chateau Beychevelle, our sister company. The boat which decorates this label is the mythical galleon of the famous Château Beychevelle which took part and sponsored the conception and creation of Grand Bateau. Today, Philippe Blanc, Château Beychevelle’s winemaker, provides us with the ultimate technical guidance in our famed assemblage of these wines. The “Secret” ? Simply that the wine is sourced from such illustrious estates that we have been asked not to divulge its exceptional provenance ! Rich and gracious wine, it offers all the raciness of a grand cru. It’s exceptional elegance will seduce the palates of those demanding connoisseurs.

This wine is clear, shiny, ruby red with cherry highlights. The varietal aromas of the Merlot express themselves with notes of red currants and black cherries. The attack is frank, the morello cherry and the vanilla accompanies a licorice and ample final. Tannins are soft.
