| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.3 pts. and median of 89 pts. in 23 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by DerBismarck on 12/11/2022 & rated 86 points: Clear Medium granatered.
Clear, strong, smell of blackberries, cherries and vanilla and some more wood related smell.
Dry, medium acidity, high in tannins, medium body, strong intensity, blackberries+ honey like notes+ ceder + more dark red fruit, medium aftertaste (~12 seconds).
Overall a very nice pretty heavy wine I like these kinds of wines it has a pretty complex taste with every zip I take I taste something new so far I am loving my first glass would drink again! Rating (86/100) (654 views) | | | Tasted by Sampyne on 7/7/2021: Excellent (1238 views) | | | Tasted by Strikermax on 6/4/2021 & rated 81 points: Most of the fruit has gone. (1189 views) | | | Tasted by 7smcb on 2/20/2018 & rated 90 points: Drank after an hour+ decant. Purchased for $18 CDN and very satisfying at the price. Ripe, round, fruit. Decent balance. As much complexity as one could expect at this level, and a very satisfying midweek drink. Certainly approaching its peak over the next 2-3 years. (3433 views) | | | Tasted by Christoph4204 on 7/23/2017 & rated 91 points: Opulent wine with ripe but fresh fruit. Medium to long finish! Great QPR! (3937 views) | | | Tasted by Christoph4204 on 4/29/2017 & rated 89 points: In it's mature phase. Great, but a bit light on the palate. Will drink in 1 to 2 years, will not improve futher as it misses some depth. (3587 views) | | | Tasted by KEISTIE on 4/9/2017 & rated 91 points: Good wine price/quality in the great wine-years. (3357 views) | | | Tasted by rickfell-new on 8/22/2016 & rated 89 points: Good after a couple hours decant (3600 views) | | | Tasted by Xavier Auerbach on 6/15/2016 & rated 90 points: A combined tasting note of the 2009, 2010 and 2011 vintages. All three are basically made from around 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc and aged in used barrels from Château Lafleur. They are quite big wines, weighing in at 14.5%, 14.5% and 14% ABV respectively. The wines are impeccably made (Grand Village is the home of the Guinaudeau family, the owners of Château Lafleur in Pomerol), and consequently they are true representatives of their terroir and their vintages. The 2009 has suffered a bit from the heat of the vintage, it seems. It offers delicious rich and ripe fruit, blackberries and plums even, but it feels very earthy, the wood sticks out a bit when the bottle has been open for a few hours and acidity is low; there is considerable heat on the finish. One to drink up before the fruit fades (88). The 2011 shares some of the earthy character with the 2009, but it is made in a much fresher and cooler style; although attractively energetic, it does display that certain dryness in the tannins which is typical for the vintage. Drinking well from now until 2020 (89). The 2010 is in a class of its own in this trio and seems to (almost) transcend the limitations of its modest terroir. It is lifted and floral, creamy, with an elegance and finesse not encountered in the two neighbouring vintages, the fruit is ripe but fresh, there is vibrant acidity, the oak is perfectly integrated and the tannins are still grippy but ripe; there is nice resonance on the slightly rough finish and length is good. This may improve for a few more years and should last until 2025 (90). (2709 views) | | | Tasted by FransS on 6/12/2016 & rated 82 points: In style as the '10, but a bit (more) mute. (1452 views) | | | Tasted by pdwinter on 1/16/2015 & rated 86 points: rim still some purple, light nose with hint of soap, initially light on the palate turning into a long "grip" on the tongue. Good. (2305 views) | | | Tasted by Christoph4204 on 10/24/2014 & rated 90 points: More smooth than the one I drunk earlier this year. Pleasant, not too complicated wine with a lot of berries and a long finish. I like it even more when I look to the price I paid. (2403 views) | | | Tasted by KEISTIE on 6/15/2014 & rated 91 points: This is the best Bordeaux supérieur that I've drunk.
Good year, nice body and no tannin.
Best enjoyed before 2018. (2507 views) | | | Tasted by Christoph4204 on 4/28/2014 & rated 89 points: Great wine for small money! (2431 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 7/30/2011 & rated 90 points: Jammy berries, forest floor, fresh black cherries and plum scents introduce you to a likeable, charming wine that will offer a lot of pleasure young. The wine was produced from a blend of 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. 90-91 Pts (4481 views) | | | Tasted by Jeff Leve on 4/22/2011 & rated 90 points: Grand Village 75% Merlot 25% Cabernet Franc create an earth, candied plum and sweet cherry scented wine with a medium body that ends with a fresh, black cherry finish. This should drink well on release. 89-91 (3606 views) |

| Château Grand Village – Read about Chateau Grand VillageRed Bordeaux BlendRed Bordeaux is generally made from a blend of grapes. Permitted grapes are Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and rarely Carménère.Today Carménère is rarely used, with Château Clerc Milon, a fifth growth Bordeaux, being one of the few to still retain Carménère vines. As of July 2019, Bordeaux wineries authorized the use of four new red grapes to combat temperature increases in Bordeaux. These newly approved grapes are Marselan, Touriga Nacional, Castets, and Arinarnoa.
Wineries all over the world aspire to making wines in a Bordeaux style. In 1988, a group of American vintners formed The Meritage Association to identify wines made in this way. Although most Meritage wines come from California, there are members of the Meritage Association in 18 states and five other countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, Israel, and Mexico.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

History of Bordeaux
History of 1855 Bordeaux Classification
"2009 is all about ripeness, with wines impressively packed with ripe fruit and high alcohol levels. They are showy, in-your-face, and full of pleasure. The 2010s have the fruit and alcohol levels of the 2009s, but with a compelling freshness on the finish that balances the fruit and provides a perfect sense of structure." - Ben Nelson
"2016 is a landmark vintage in certain spots of Bordeaux and it should be remembered as one of the most inspired campaigns of the last 40-50+ years." -Jon Rimmerman
"The quality of red Bordeaux in 2016 was universally lauded – although the response to the en primeur campaign was muted. Quantity was high too, with the equivalent of 770 million bottles of wine produced. An exceptionally dry summer with cool nights eventually, thanks to mid September rain, resulted in small, thick-skinned, ripe grapes, and the wines are marked by high tannin and acidity, with superb aromatic fragrance." - Jancis Robinson
"2017 was complicated, but there are some excellent wines. Expect plenty of freshness and drinkability from wines that will offer excellent value, and others that will rival 2016 in terms of ripeness and ageability. But they are likely to be the exception not the rule, making careful selection key." - Jane Anson
"In the past, a vintage such as 2022 may have been overripe, raisined and low in acidity but 2022 had a sneaky little reservoir in its back pocket - a near perfect marriage of cool/cold/rain the previous winter and the previous vintage that literally soaked the soils (a key to why 2022 is not 2003...or 1893)." - Jon RimmermanBordeaux Supérieur Read About Bordeaux Superieur - Bordeaux Supérieur - Read about Petit Chateau and Bordeaux Satellite Appellation wines |
