Chateau Grand Village Rouge, Bordeaux Superieur 2020

The Château Grand Village winery has been owned by the Guinaudeau family since the middle of the 17th century. The family also owns the legendary Château Lafleur. Their land is located in Mouillac, on the opposite side of Fronsac and covers an area of 50 hectares. The land is worked by the same team as at Château Lafleur and far outstrip their nominal Bordeaux Supérieur status, creating some of the most exciting releases in the appellation. If one wants to glimpse into the Guinaudeau’s savoir-faire, then Grand Village is an unmissable addition to any cellar.

The soils are made of clay and chalk and the vines are planted on both hillsides and plains. The average age of the vines is 20 years old. Grapes are manually harvested with a carefully selection and a focus on quality.  Fermented in traditional cement tanks and aged for 15 months in French oak barrels, 30% of which are new.
