"... dichte, warme, süße, reife Frucht, auch feine florale Noten, Malbec-Touch, spicy, große Balance, mineralisch, bester Grand Village ever!" (2021)

The 2020 Grand Village has a ripe nose with quite ebullient red fruit and well-integrated oak. It is more opulent than some of its peers, though it maintains delineation. The palate is well balanced with a slightly powdery texture and admirable depth. It is perhaps just missing a little grip, but it retains a degree of elegance and focus. This unravels a little in the glass, prompting me to dock a point. Tasted blind at the annual Southwold tasting.

Currants and chocolate with some hazelnut aromas and flavors. Medium-bodied with chocolate and hints of coffee. Fresh and bright. Drink or hold. (03/2023)

The 2020 Grand Village (Lafleur), which is 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, comes from more clay soils and from cuttings from Château Lafleur in Pomerol. It's a gorgeous wine that brings serious power and richness while staying nicely balanced. Ripe black fruits, truffle earth, chocolate, and some floral, earthy notes define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, ripe yet building tannins, and a great finish. It's certainly a bigger, richer vintage at this address, and this beauty will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age. I can't imagine it not drinking well for a solid two decades. It's worth pointing out that production was down from an average 5,000 cases to over 3,000 cases in 2020, so there's certainly less of this beauty to go around. If you see a bottle, don't miss it.

A serious, more obviously structured effort than the suave 2019, the 2020 Grand Village offers up a smoky, dense bouquet with aromas of cherries, spices, flowers, lead pencil and dark wild berries. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with rich, powdery tannins and a vibrant core of fruit, it concludes with an impressively long finish and superb controlled power. It clearly needs time to chill out.
