2016 Chateau Grand Village Blanc, Bordeaux Superieur (6 x Bottle)
The 2016 Grand Village Blanc has gained terrific freshness in élevage and is now a far more convincing wine than it was from barrel. Green apple, lemon peel and white flowers all convey an impression of energy, but the 2016 has quite a bit of textural resonance as well.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2016 Grand Village Blanc is a blend of 65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Sémillon picked between 9-12 September. It has a lively gooseberry and conference pear scented bouquet that leaps from the glass. The palate shows some tropical tones on the entry, orange peel and lemongrass aromas poking through the citrus fruit with a little more fatness on the finish than the 2015 last year. Enjoy this over the next five or six years.

Vinous
In 2016, the Grand Village Blanc is powerful and deep to the point of being a bit heavy, as many whites are in this vintage. Lemon confit, almond, chamomile and floral overtones add complexity throughout.
