Alain and Corrine Roses added Château Grand Tayac to their properties in Haut Médoc and Moulis in 2004. In purchasing the beautiful post house that stands in the heart of their vineyard, they have been able, to maximize the potential of this hidden jewel with the guidance of consultant winemaker Eric Boissenot, who made his name as a consultant to four of the five legendary First Growth properties.
