Aromatically explosive on the nose and palate. Vertical profile to the palate which is long, linear and fresh. Saline note on the finish. Can age a bit. Got to be GV. ~ (16) James Lawther, JancisRobinson.com 4-15-2025
The 2024 Grand Village Blanc was picked from September 5 to 11. This has a vivacious bouquet with lime flower, honeysuckle and light wild peach notes that are beautifully defined. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a lightly spiced opening. It is delineated with just a dab of orange rind on the finish. The 2024 is irresistible. ~ (92) Neal Martin, Vinous 4-30-2025
Scheduled to be bottled in June (tasted out of tank), the 2024 Grand Village (Lafleur) Blanc has a bright, racy, mineral-driven style in its crushed citrus, lime, chalk, and sappy, minty herb-driven aromatics. It's medium-bodied, has a vibrant spine of acidity, and outstanding length. ~ (92) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-9-2025
The 2024 Grand Village Blanc is terrific. It's bright, sculpted and bristling with energy. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, white pepper and slate are all finely cut. Clean saline notes lend considerable energy throughout. This is a fantastic showing. ~ (92) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 4-29-2025
This is a wild GV with so much sliced lemon, green apple and lime, as well as hints of flint. Mussel shells, too. Medium-bodied, tangy and vivid. A blend of 78% sauvignon and 22% semillon. ~ (94) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 5-7-2025
