Vignobles Dulon Gran Jean Bordeaux Superieur 2018 750ML

Introduction

Chateau Grand Jean Bordeaux Superieur 2018 is a red wine from Bordeaux, France. It’s made from 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 5% Malbec. The wine is deep red with purple hues and has a fruity and spiced aroma. It’s also structured and balanced. Jean-Philippe Janoueix Domaines is a Bordeaux producer with a collection of chteaux based in the Saint-Georges-Saint-milion and Grand Cru appellations of Saint-milion, as well as Pomerol and Bordeaux Suprieur. Founder Jean-Philippe Janoueix comes from the revered Bordeaux winemaking dynasty. The family business was created in 1898 by Joseph Janoueix, with Jean-Philippe Janoueix establishing his own branch of the business in 1994. Today, he has accumulated a wine portfolio including Chteau Haut-Pontet and Chteau La Confession (Saint-milion), Chteau Croix-Mouton (AOC Bordeaux Suprieur), as well as Chteau La Croix Saint-Georges and Chteau Sacre Coeur (Pomerol). The 4 hectare (10 acre) vineyard parcel at La Croix Saint-Georges is planted predominantly to Merlot (91-percent), with the rest dedicated to Cabernet Franc (9-percent). These vines average 38 years old and are planted in Pomerol’s triangular section of ancient sands. These sandy soils are also home to several more of the domaine’s vineyard plots, including its La Croix-Toulifaut cru. One of Jean-Philippe Janoueix’s most recent acquisitions is Chteau Cap Saint-George (previously known as Chteau Cap d’Or) in Saint-milion. The Chteau Cap Saint-George is a Merlot-predominant red wine, with Cabernet Franc making up the remainder of the blend. Grapes are harvested by hand and the wine aged in 50-percent new oak, producing approximately 60,000 to 70,000 bottles per annum.
