2022 Chateau Grand Village (Lafleur)
2022 Chateau Grand Village (Lafleur)
94pts Wine Advocate
One of the best wines ever produced at this address, the 2022 Grand Village reveals a dense, bright and complex bouquet of cassis, mulberries, flowers and sweet berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and round palate with a seamless texture framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a penetrating, ethereal finish. This blend of blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc benefits from the sort of careful winemaking usually reserved for cru classé wines.

The Château Grand Village estate is owned by Jacques Guinaudaeau, owner, and winemaker of the highly collectable and exceptionally very rare Chateau Lafleur Pomerol. This estate in Fronsac is managed in the same way as Lafleur using classic techniques and incredible attention to detail. Produced from primarily Merlot with a bit of Cabernet Franc which results in a complex nose showing bright red berries with hints of dark chocolate and spice notes. Ripe plummy flavors then emerge with cedar, smoke, and clove, in a fleshy mouthfeel with fresh acidity in a long finish. A brilliant wine considering its pedigree and price.
This entry-level Bordeaux Supérieur from Château Grand Village is an absolute steal for the price. The wine is a classic Right Bank blend (Merlot-dominant, in this case 86%) rounded out with Cabernet Franc. Voluptuous flavors of plums, kirsch liqueur, bramble, dark chocolate, and tobacco dominate the wine’s plush yet vibrant palate
