"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." - February 2025

"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." - Yohan Castaing, March 2025

"The 2022 Grand Village Rouge is plump, juicy and quite extroverted in its first impression. But that is the first impression only. Aromatics and underlying structure emerge with a bit of air, signaling a complex, dynamic wine that punches well above its weight. The blend is 80% Merlot and 20% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), with the Bouchet really driving the blend. Superb." - Antonio Galloni January 2025

"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." - Neal Martin, February 2025
