Tasting notes:
There’s an intensity and drive to this that belies the vintage (and its peers) as limes and gooseberry give way to salt and stones, the flavours intense, crystalline and focussed, yet not severe and lifted by a lively animating acidity. A vivid, uplifting Grand Village Blanc. Top stuff
About the producer:
Le Grand Village is the original Bordeaux home of the Guinaudeau family, better known as the producers of Château Lafleur in Pomerol. The same team and equal level of detailed attention are dedicated to winemaking in this château in Fronsac on the Right Bank. This results in a red (Merlot/Cabernet Franc) and a white (Sauvignon Blanc/Sémillon) wine which far outstrip their nominal Bordeaux Supérieur status, creating some of the most exciting releases in the appellation. If one wants to glimpse into the Guinaudeau’s savoir-faire, then Grand Village is an unmissable addition to any cellar.
