Review: A sleeper of the vintage, the gorgeously plump 2003 Greysac may be even better than my score indicates. It reveals hints of sweet cherries, figs, plums, and smoky licorice along with supple tannin, a beautiful texture, medium body, and no hard edges. This luscious, tasty Medoc should drink well for 6-8 years.
Chateau Greysac has a relatively short history as a well known winery. After Baron Francois de Gunzburg and several friends visited the Chateaux in 1973, they purchased it in partnership with the IFINT group. The new owners quickly started a series of renovations that involved replanting much of the vineyard area and updating and modernizing the chais and winemakeing equipment.
The new owners also obtained the services of the famed Emile Peynaud (professor of Oenology at the University of Bordeaux) as a consultant to the chateau. After Peynaud's retirement, Michel Geuraud took over the role as consultant. Philippe Dambrine is the General Manager of the estate and is in charge of the vineyards and winemaking, as well.
