CHATEAU GRAND VILLAGE 2023 BORDEAUX SUPERIOR

Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux 93 POINTS - "This is totally blooming now it's in bottle, powerful but accessible, dense rose petals, raspberry, damson fruits, juicy acidities, and I thoroughly suggest getting hold of it. Higher levels of Merlot this year than usual because all of the Cabernet Franc is in Les Perrières, which means you are getting great quality Merlot that normally heads into Les Perrières, and these Merlot have density, depth and muscle with a softness that is ready to go. Exemplary Bordeaux - but this will go also to Vin de France from 2025, a real shame for AOC Bordeaux. One point upscore but thoroughly suggest not waiting - enjoy this vivid bright fruit."
