Château Grand Village Bordeaux Supérieur Rouge 2017
Château Grand Village Bordeaux Supérieur Rouge is a unique wine that far exceeds its Bordeaux Supérieur appellation level and the Guinaudeau family cherishes it every bit as much as they do its more illustrious stablemate Château Lafleur. The vineyards are worked by the same team and with the same meticulous care and attention to detail that are seen in the great Pomerol vineyard. The grapes (predominately Merlot with the addition of Cabernet Franc) are carefully selected according to the quality of the harvest and only the best fruit is retained. This red wine is delicious in its youth yet has surprising longevity and is normally at its peak around 3-6 years after harvest, depending on vintage.
Reviews & Scores
A fine and silky red with dark-berry and chocolate character. Medium body and a fresh finish. Production down 90% from frost.
90-91 Points, James Suckling
This vintage of Grand Village has produced just 9% of the production of 2016. Medium garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Grand Village has pretty notes of powdered cinnamon, wood smoke, Bing cherries and black raspberries with a waft of lavender. Medium-bodied and velvety, it has good mid-palate density and a long spicy finish.
89-91 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW, Wine Advocate
The 2017 Grand Village was picked from 21 to 30 September. It has an attractive mulberry and blackberry scented bouquet with a light sea spray influence. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly grainy tannin, quite saline in the mouth with an approachable, sappy finish. Fine, although there is only 10% of the normal production.
87-89 Points, Neal Martin
