Château LES GRANDES MURAILLES
Grand cru classé

A tiny one-and-a-half-hectare cru adjoining Clos Fourtet, which joined the Cuvelier family in 2013. Without losing any of their silky roundness and flattering fruitiness (100% Merlot), the wines have gained in purity and length.

2021 is the last vintage of Grandes Murailles, the new Saint-Émilion classification having allowed this parcel to be attached to the Clos Fourtet vineyard.

The 2021 vintage in the press:

J.M Quarin (February 2024): 92/100

Vinous (N.Martin - November 2023): 92/100 “The 2021 Les Grandes Murailles has an intriguing and complex bouquet, slightly feral in style compared to it peers, revealing baked cherries, loam and meat juices - almost Rhône-like! The palate is medium-bodied with a pliant entry, again, a more fleshy Saint-Emilion compared to others, with fine acidity and a dash of white pepper and clove toward the finish. This is thoroughly enjoyable and should give wine lovers 15-20 years of drinking pleassure.”
