A medicinal edge on the nose, some gorgeous floral and herbal touches to the ripe fruit but a savoury element too. Compact and dense on the palate, the tannins and general weight is felt in the mouth straight away, with searing acidity making this quite lean and focused but with a lovely creaminess that comes through as it slowly expands. This has a lot of power and charge but no overt weight, density but no fat. I like the lingering coolness with fresh mint and graphite giving a saline, mineral element at the end. Complex and serious yet elegant, full of taste and detail. 

The 2020 Grand Village was made during an uprooting of what Baptiste Guinaudeau termed the "less interesting" parcels to focus on the best plots of the original estate. This has a very intense bouquet with black cherries, boysenberry and crushed violet scents. Very fine delineation and less rusticity than the vintages of a decade ago. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy yet fine tannins, blackberry commingling with licorice and hints of wild fennel. Insistent grip towards the finish.
