About Grand Cru: The Wine Maker
From Grape to Glass, Every Choice Matters
In Grand Cru, every decision you make — from the vineyard to the wine glass — shapes your wine's final score.🌍 Terroir — Soil type, climate, and vine age determine your grape's potential before you touch a single cluster.🪵 Oak Barrels — French, Hungarian, or American oak — each variety, freshness level, and grape tolerance shifts the flavor profile. Pick wrong and you'll flatten the fruit.⭐ Four Pillars of Quality — Your wine is scored on Structure, Authenticity, Finish, and Complexity — just like real wine critics evaluate Bordeaux.📊 Critics vs. Public — Critics reward complexity and structure. The public wants fruit and approachability. The same wine can score 90 with one and 65 with the other. Know your market.Create your own wine style. Your vineyard, your rules.What Steam players say

✦ AI summary
Players praise this wine simulation for its addictive, relaxing gameplay, satisfying depth, and charming design that incorporates real details like regional soil types and grape suitability. The main complaints center around action point limitations that restrict players from completing all desired tasks, confusing menu interfaces particularly for wine blending where players can't see specific lots, and UI elements that could use better polish like background graphics. Despite these rough edges, players appreciate the developer's active involvement and see strong potential for this early-acces
Great little game!!! Vey fun, easy to learn, and satisfying. Also, appropriately detailed for it's relative simplicity, as in different AOCs/regions having different soils and the different soils appropriately being more suited to one grape or another, and like the need to harvest well; it's frustrating to get rain, but it shows that if you put in the investment and effort earlier in the year, you can offset some bad weather. This is all from playing on the LegionGO, so my issues my partially be only there. There are a number of little confusing things that would be great to see adjusted: - Blending wines - I can't see which specific lots, so I have to guess. Would be nice to have a fuller project menu to see old wines, etc. - I'd also like maybe a bit more options in blending, like a 3-way blend or more, but I see how that could get exponentially more complicated. -I'm not sure I understand the wine rating system. If most things seem to go well all year and the initial estimated rating is 86, why did I get a 71? - Some of the purchasing choices from the characters seem arbitrary. I'd get if one guy didn't buy white wine, but if I have two Merlot bottlings from sister lots that s…2 found this helpful
Finally a wine simulator with great potential. I agree with a lot of others who already wrote positive comments. So to the developer I say: keep up the good work! I do have a tip that would help me as a (lazy) gamer: The amount of AP points per round is a bit too low. It helps to support to decision making in the game, but sometimes without realising I am left with zero points and still need to do winery work like wine making. Somebody wrote a comment that the whole wine making process should be separated from the AP points. I feel the same. Further, some menu's could use a better background (like the winery). Goodluck with the rest of the development!1 found this helpful
A fantastic, addictive winery simulator. This game offers great depth in its management systems and a very relaxing gameplay loop.
A great, fun little game where you run a winery and try to grow it. The project is still in early development, but the dev is active and addresses issues quite quickly. Can't wait for more development!
Great game. Only problem I have is the action points. If you have more than 2 properties you run low on AP. One possible solution is have exp. points to level up to add action points.
Charming game, feels like a blend between 100Days & Viticulture. Not there yet, but has potential. Good to play as it is, but looking forward to improvements. Addictive and relaxing to play. I like that you play with real areas from Bordeaux & can control your wineyards.
