Note di degustazione
Fresh fruit is layered with spice and richer, deeper tones of the 2022 Grand Village. It’s dense and concentrated from the warm growing season, but with an impressive vibrancy and tension from firm but ripe tannins. A really impressive result this year. Blend: 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc

One of the best wines ever produced at this address, the 2022 Grand Village reveals a dense, bright and complex bouquet of cassis, mulberries, flowers and sweet berries, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and round palate with a seamless texture framed by velvety tannins, concluding with a penetrating, ethereal finish. This blend of blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc benefits from the sort of careful winemaking usually reserved for cru classé wines.
Sporting a deep purple/plum hue, the 2022 Grand Village (Lafleur) offers up a rocking bouquet of ripe black cherries and blackberry-like fruits as well as some truffly earth, licorice, and chalky minerality. It's a powerful, concentrated, medium to full-bodied, broad, and layered Grand Village that offers pleasure today yet is going to benefit from at least 4-6 years of bottle age and have 20+ years of overall longevity. The tannins are particularly velvety, and it has a Saint-Emilion-like sense of limestone minerality.
The 2022 Grand Village has a wonderful bouquet with blackberry, wild strawberry and black olive scents that blossom in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, a strong marine influence and a slightly grainy texture. There is a keen line of acidity with a precise, sustained finish. Is it the best Grand Village ever? It's up there.
