2021 Chateau Grand Village

"Incorporating fully 25% Cabernet Franc derived from massal selections taken from Château Lafleur, the 2021 Grand Village offers up inviting aromas of dark berries, plums, violets and rose petals. Medium to full-bodied, deep and seamless, it's a lively, sapid wine that concludes with a saline finish. The progress of this estate, benefiting from upgraded vine genetics as well as the uprooting of less optimally sited parcels, transcends vintage variation to the extent that this 2021 should equal the quality Grand Village attained in 2016!" ~ (94) William Kelley, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 4-29-2022

"A bright and fruity wine with bright acidity and light, fine tannins. Nicely lifted. Creamy texture." ~ (92) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 5-12-2022
