2024 Grand Village Blanc
Buying options
Tasting Notes
This is an exuberant Grand Village, with pear, greengage, green apple and grass alongside chalky minerality. The palate is zesty and fresh, with limey purity that reverberates through the long finish. It’s zingy, bright, mouthwatering and very moreish. Blend: 78% Sauvignon Blanc, 22% Semillon

This is a wild GV with so much sliced lemon, green apple and lime, as well as hints of flint. Mussel shells, too. Medium-bodied, tangy and vivid. A blend of 78% sauvignon and 22% semillon.
The 2024 Grand Village Blanc is terrific. It's bright, sculpted and bristling with energy. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, white pepper and slate are all finely cut. Clean saline notes lend considerable energy throughout. This is a fantastic showing.
Fragrant aromatics on the opening, grated coconut, citrus, lime zest, soft ginger, white pear, this is great quality, sappy and moreish. 50% barrels, 50% stainless steel, 1.8ha of clay limestone, Harvest 5 to 11 September. Small part from Sancerre massal selections, 52h/h yield, Lafleur team.
