THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Aromas of cassis, blueberries, dark wild berries and flowers introduce the 2023 Grand Village, a medium to full-bodied, layered and fleshy wine with a deep core of fruit that's framed by powdery tannins, concluding with a long, saline finish. As readers may remember, Grand Village is one of the best values in Bordeaux, and this year, it exceeds expectations. It's one of the sleepers of the vintage. This is a blend of 91% Merlot (picked between the 11th and 14th of September) and 9% Cabernet Franc (picked on the 20th of September)."

FALSTAFF: "Kräftiges Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Zart nach Lakritze, reife rote Herzkirschen, etwas Zwetschken, kandierte Orangenzesten. Saftig, elegant, feines Nugat, runde Tannine, gute Frische, mineralisch und anhaftend, bereits zugänglich, salziger Touch, ein stoffiger Umami-Speisenbegleiter, Preiselbeeren im Nachhall."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Crunchy and flavorful with chocolate and currant notes, as well as an orange-peel undertone. It’s medium-bodied with creamy tannins and a savory finish. Spicy and salty at the end. A blend of 91% merlot and 9% bouchet (cabernet franc)."
