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

Scheduled to be bottled in June (tasted out of tank), the 2024 Grand Village (Lafleur) Blanc has a bright, racy, mineral-driven style in its crushed citrus, lime, chalk, and sappy, minty herb-driven aromatics. It's medium-bodied, has a vibrant spine of acidity, and outstanding length.
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.
