2023 Château Grand Village Blanc | MG

The 2023 Grand Village Blanc is a powerful, deep wine endowed with quite a bit of texture. Far from an easygoing white, the 2023 has enough complexity to be extremely versatile. Hints of lemon confit, white flowers, almond and chamomile open with some coaxing, but more than anything else, the 2023 is a wine of structure. This is beautifully done.

Very vivid and lively with lemon, lime, mojito and a hint of lemon grass. Medium- to full-bodied. Sea salt. Wild. 80% sauvignon blanc (half Bordeaux and half Sancerre clones) and 20% semillon. (05/2024)

A blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Semillon, the 2023 white Grand Village springs with spritely notes of lime leaves, fresh lemons, and yuzu, plus suggestions of white pepper and chalk dust. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant with great tension, finishing long and zesty. (05/2024)

Compared to the 2022, the 2023 Grand Village Blanc is more fruity and dense, evoking aromas of lemon oil, verbena, kumquat and confit citrus. Broad but tensile, it’s medium-bodied with a fleshy core of fruit and a delicately phenolic frame that segues into a chalky, saline and bright finish. This blend of 80% Sauvignon and 20% Sémillon is simply stunning.
