Against the backdrop of the deep crisis rattling the Bordeaux wine region, Château Le Geai's work is exemplary. In 2000, when Henri Duporge took over the family vineyards (18 hectares) in the Libourne region north of Pomerol and created Château Le Geai, he opted for biodynamic viticulture and vinification. Far from conventional oenology, he strives for naturalness and authenticity in a spirit of both rigour and inventive freedom.

Set on a terroir typical of Libourne (sandy-clay soil, iron-rich subsoil), on slopes overlooking the River Isle, Le Grand G is a blend of traditional Bordeaux grape varieties: Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, as well as Carmenère, a forgotten old variety that has now been rediscovered. Gently vinified and matured in amphorae and barrels, this is an expressive, sapid red, with both a fresh texture (with a slight hint of gas) and an earthy profile. A moderately priced Bordeaux!
