2023 Chateau Grand Jean Bordeaux Superior Reserve Red, Entre-Du-Mers, France

Bordeaux is synonymous with greatness — and Chateau Grand Jean’s Bordeaux Superieur Reserve Red is a modern, bolder take on the region’s classic style. Millennial sisters Sophie and Carole Dulon are bending Bordeaux’s traditional rules by aging this wine in American oak barrels, resulting in a more complex, spice-forward red with a smoother, contemporary feel. Enjoyably aromatic, approachable, and built for both immediate pleasure and short-term cellaring.

Wine Producer / Historical Notes

Chateau Grand Jean is led by millennial sisters Sophie and Carole Dulon, who are bringing a fresh, modern perspective to one of the world’s most tradition-bound wine regions. While Bordeaux’s strict rules govern everything from permitted grape varieties to harvest timing, the Dulon sisters are innovating within those boundaries — aging their Reserve Red in American oak barrels to create a bolder, more complex flavor profile that stands apart from the classic Bordeaux style. Entre-Deux-Mers, located between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers in the heart of Bordeaux, is one of the region’s most dynamic and diverse appellations, producing wines of genuine character and value.
