Château Grand Baril, ubicado en Montagne Saint-Émilion, está comprometido con la agricultura orgánica, y su cuvée Gaïa es un fiel reflejo de esta filosofía. Este Bordeaux orgánico está elaborado con uvas Merlot cultivadas en suelos típicos de la región — arcillo-calcáreos y arenosos — lo que proporciona un terroir equilibrado que aporta complejidad aromática y una estructura elegante al vino.

Con un color rojo rubí profundo, la nariz del vino se abre con notas ahumadas y tostadas de cereza y café asado. En el paladar, el vino es agradable y bien equilibrado, ofreciendo un volumen generoso y una persistencia aromática refinada con una textura sedosa.
