A gorgeous dark nose with some perfumed black cherries, it smells faintly sweet and softly floral - so welcoming. A similar soft, sweetness follows on the palate straight away with such perfumed edges that are completely captivating. Succulent with clarity and soft chalky tannins plumping up the blackcurrant, Morello cherry and raspberry fruit. There's also a very specific iron filing, iodine salinity that lingers giving such texture and nuance to the overall frame. The finish is fresh and direct with a cooling sensation that lingers. Sophisticated and refined, but above all so joyous to drink. A top buy. From the same winemaking team and philosophy as Château Lafleur in Pomerol. ~ Decanter, Georgina Hindle
The Guideaneau family and Societé Civile du Château Lafleur also produce this Bordeaux Supérieur label. Château Grand Village was founded in 1650 by a distant ancestor of the Guinaudeau family.The estate is located in Mouillac, part of the canton of Fronsac, and covers 50 hectares (124 acres), with 20ha of vines (49.5 acres). Since the early 1980s the vineyard work and winemaking have been more closely aligned to that of Lafleur.
