Le Grand Verdus

The people behind the bottle

Thomas and Edouard Le Grix de la Salle continue a family story that took root in wine after the Second World War. At Grand Verdus, the hills around their Bordeaux château give them a patchwork of soils to explore. Thomas brings the cellar perspective; Edouard brings agronomy. Together, their work connects carefully tailored winemaking with covered soils and a long view of the land’s future.
