Regular readers of these pages will know our admiration of this wine. The Guinaudeau family of Château Lafleur in Pomerol owns this little estate in Moulliac just outside the appellation of Fronsac. The vineyards are planted with Merlot and Bouchet (a Cabernet Franc biotype) grown from Château Lafleur cuttings. Since 2018, the wine has improved out of sight, so much so that we reckon this is one of the greatest value wines produced in Bordeaux.

With 2021, we see a slight shift in the wine's composition, with Bouchet making up a larger portion than in the previous three years, now at 25%, alongside the dominant Merlot. While it may not match the intensity of the 2020 vintage, the 2021 offers a unique richness and fragrance. The nose is filled with the delicate scents of lavender and rose, with a hint of black cherry. The palate, while still dark and inky, is slightly more approachable than its predecessor. The ABV is much more digestible, 13.5% (2020 is 15%).

The 2021 has spent 12 months in barrel; 30% are new, 40% are 2nd passage, and 30% are 3rd passage. Bottled in April 2023.

Chateau Grand Village Rouge is one of Noble Grape's absolute classic reds, one of Bordeaux's great bargains. It has taken us a wee while to catch up with their white, which, before this vintage, I hadn't tasted for a long time. Indeed, not since Omri Ram, head winemaker at Pomerol's, and the Guinaudeau family's other property, Chateau Lafleur, started making the wines. We hoped for the same turnaround in quality with the white, and we weren't disappointed.

The wine is lemony and pithy, with fine minerality and texture. The Semillon is in the background at the moment; right now, it is all Sauvignon. We're absolutely fine with that. With a few years in the bottle, the Semillon will come to the fore a little more. Enjoy right now for its juiciness, or keep it for 6 - 7 years until it unfurls.
