JAMES SUCKLING: "So bright and lively with energy and minerality. Dried-fruit character. Medium-bodied, fresh and vivid. Lemon and lime zest. Tight and linear finish. 70% sauvignon blanc and 30% semillon."

JEB DUNNUCK: "I love the whites from the team at Lafleur, and the 2022 Château Grand Village (Lafleur) Blanc offers a sensational perfume of honeyed limes, pineapple, minty herbs, and some obvious chalky minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, it has a vibrant, focused texture, bright acidity, and a great finish. The blend here is 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon."

FALSTAFF: "Helles Gelbgrün, silberfarbene Reflexe. Frische Nuancen von weißer Tropenfrucht, etwas Passionsfrucht und reife Stachelbeeren, ein Hauch von Grapefruitzesten, etwas Verveine und Zitronenmelisse. Saftig, elegant und aromatisch, feine Säurestruktur, salzige Nuancen, balanciert, ein animierender Speisenbegleiter."

LISA PERROTTI-BROWN: „The white Grand Villages 2022 is a blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon. It slides effortlessly out of the glass with vibrant scents of white peaches, pineapple, and lemon drops, plus hints of honeysuckle and coriander seed. Medium-bodied, the palate is intense with a lovely silkiness to the texture and plenty of freshness, finishing on a lingering, chalky note."

THE WINE CELLAR INSIDER: "The sweet, pink grapefruits, flowers and white peaches are balanced between their creamy textures and freshness on the palate. The wine lingers long after the wine has left your glass. This blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Semillon is ready to go. Drink from 2025-2030."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "A blend of 70% Sauvignon Blanc and 30% Sémillon, the 2022 Grand Village Blanc is a terrific achievement for the vintage. Expressing notes of pear, lime tree, lemon, spring flowers, jasmine and menthol, it’s medium to full-bodied with a broad and enveloping yet crystalline texture. The long, saline-infused finish hums with energy and tension. This is one of the most delectable but also pure and mineral-driven wines ever produced at this estate."
