Bernard Grimard is the fourth-generation owner of Château La Croix Des Lamberts. He grew up in those vines and makes sure to carefully calculate his old vine to young vine ratio in order to privilege quality over quantity. Many of his older vines were planted in the 70s... His wines are a truly beautiful and refined terroir expression...
