2024, Château Grand Village Rouge, BORDEAUX Supérieur Rouge (Ch. Lafleur)

Château Grand Village is a harmonious and rich wine, centred around a precise tannic spine. Harvested on the clay-limestone soils of Grand Village. 

A floral, elegant bouquet of violets, iris, lilac and mulberries introduces the 2024 Grand Village, a moderately weighted, juicy and seamless wine. It offers a lively core of fruit framed by refined yet slightly austere tannins, lending the wine both charm and underlying structure.
90-92 Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate.

The 2024 Grand Village has a well-defined bouquet with brambly red fruit and briar aromas opening with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and a lovely, sapid finish. This is light on its feet with a little more substance on the finish compared to its peers. The 2024 comes recommended.
89-91 Neal Martin, Vinous.

Translucent pale ruby, fresh redcurrant fruits, shape and aromatics of a cooler vintage, this starts off softly but builds gently and slowly in power. Charming, appealing, gentle red berry fruits, spice and smoke, an extremely pretty Grand Village, give it a year or two in bottle before drinking. Harvest 25 September to 4 October. Lafleur team working under Julie and Baptiste Guinaudeau. 30% new oak for ageing.
