CHEVALIER GRAN ORMEAU 2018

The Estate

Château Grand Ormeau or the magic of Lalande de Pomerol…
Château Grand Ormeau is located just a stone’s throw from the highly esteemed vineyards of
Pomerol..
Grand Ormeau is a small wine estate whose history mirrors that of Lalande-de-Pomerol
wines. According to records of the illustrious Féret guide, the reputation of Grand Ormeau
wines among ‘Crus bourgeois’ and ‘1er artisans’ was well-established by 1874.
In 1988, when Jean-Claude Beton, the inventor of Orangina, took over Château Grand
Ormeau, he began restoration work in the vineyards and the winery, putting his heart and soul
into the project. He enlisted the help of top experts including the famous Libourne consultant
winemaker, Michel Rolland.
In 2017, the property was taken over by a new team. Since then, they have done everything in
their power to build upon previous accomplishments, working to the same high standards and
with the same respect for the vineyard sites and the environment.
