Château Grand-Abord is an estate in Portets on the left bank of the Bordeaux region (left bank of the river Garonne). It produces Graves AOC wines. The name of Château Grand-Abord is very old. In very early times, the Garonne river flowed close to the property and boats used to make a “grand abordage”.
