"A true revelation of the latest vintages, this small cru was taken over by the Médeville family in 2009- Its 2.5 hectares of vineyard, very well situated in Margaux, is capable of producing a refined and elegant wine, capable of challenging many of the Classified Growths. Bargain hunters would be well advised to take a close look at it." Le Guide des meilleurs vins de France 2014 by the Revue du Vin de France
Situated in the privileged core of the best terroir of the Margaux appellation, Château des Eyrins shares its location with such luminaries as Châteaux Margaux and Lascombes. Its plot, although modest with its almost 3 hectares, therefore benefits from an exceptional location.
This is probably what led Eric Grangerou to leave the vines of Château Margaux - his ancestors had been cellar masters there for three generations - in order to create his own estate in the 1980s. In 2001, he was joined by Olivier Dauga for the vinification. In 2009, the property was sold to the Gonet-Médeville family. The young and dynamic couple formed by Xavier (Champagne) and Julie (Châteaux Gilette, les Justice and respide-Médeville) will be keen to continue the work of Eric Grangerou - always with the precious advice of Olivier Dauga - in order to bring Château des Eyrins into the courtyard of the greats that it is close to.
Grown on deep gravelly soil, the vines have an average age of 40 years and are divided between three grape varieties: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, a little less than 30% Merlot, the rest Petit Verdot. The work is carried out in good harmony, the grapes are harvested by hand and the yield is respectful of nature. Vatting lasts 21 days in stainless steel vats and maturing for 18 months in new vats and barrels.
Each vintage is better than the previous one, more and more refined, intense and deep. It requires a few years of cellaring in order to reach its balance and reveal all the finesse of its exceptional terroir. When it finally reaches maturity, it has a fruity nose, excellent woodiness and a beautiful structure. A real revelation in recent years, Château des Eyrins allows you to leave the marked out paths by tasting a Bordeaux whose refinement and elegance is worthy of the classified growths of the Margaux appellation, at prices without comparison.
In many ways, Julie and Xavier Gonet-Médeville are the first couple of French wines. Both hail from storied winemaking families: Julie’s family is famous for its incomparable Château Gilette, and Xavier comes from a long line of Champagne growers in Le Mesnil. Leading a new generation of winemakers, they bring their family knowledge, methods, and passion to the many wines they now make together.
Julie and Xavier bought the three-hectare Château des Eyrins estate from Eric Grangerou in 2008. The Grangerou family were cellar masters for Château Margaux for three generations, which explains this estate’s position neighboring the great First Growth. In fact, two hectares are surrounded by Château Margaux vines. Planted to 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot, Château des Eyrins produces a classic Margaux: dense and deep, with incredible finesse and freshness, the wine undeniably expresses the identity of this glorious appellation.

Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.

In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up.

Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer.

As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
