Château Grand Village 2023

Wineadvocate

Aromas of cassis, blueberries, dark wild berries and flowers introduce the 2023 Grand Village, a medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy wine with a deep core of fruit that's framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish. As readers may remember, Grand Village is one of the best values in Bordeaux, and this year, it exceeds expectations. It's one of the sleepers of the vintage. This is a blend of 91% Merlot (picked between the 11th and 14th of September) and 9% Cabernet Franc (picked on the 20th of September). - WK 04/2024

Vinous

The 2023 Grand Village is gorgeous. Merlot plays the leading role this year, but what really comes through is the wine's saline minerality and nuance. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, blood orange, cinnamon and dried herbs are nicely pushed forward. The 2023 is an especially deep, serious Grand Village that benefits from the inclusion of Merlot that typically would have gone into Les Perrières. - AG 04/2024

Beck

D'entrée, Grand Village annonce de la fraîcheur et du fruit au travers de notes crayeuses et de nuances de mûres et de griottes. Suave et juteux en attaque, le vin cumule charme et tension. Un Grand Village structuré, précis, à la finale salivante et persistante. - YB 05/2024
