Chateau Grand Village History, Overview

Grand Village is located just north of the Fronsac appellation, in the small commune of Mouillac. Trust me, it can be a bit hard to find on your first visit. Grand Village is used as the home base for Jacques and Sylvie Guinaudeau and their family.

The vineyards of Chateau Grand Village have remained in the hands of the same family since the 17th century. Previously, the vineyards for Chateau Grand Village were worked in a classic Bordeaux wine, vine-growing manner.

That all changed in 2000 when the Guinaudeau family, who have been in charge of Chateau Lafleur in Pomerol since 1985 began producing the wines of Grand Village. They switched to managing the vineyards of Chateau Grand Village in the same manner as they do at Chateau Lafleur in Pomerol.

The vinification techniques began to mirror what they were doing in Pomerol as well, which really improved the quality of wines being produced at Grand Village.

Chateau Grand Village Vineyards, Terroir, Grapes, Winemaking

The 17 hectare Right Bank vineyard of Grand Village is planted to red and white wine grape varietals. For the red wines, 14 hectares of vines were replanted to 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc. The Cabernet Franc comes from clones planted at Chateau Lafleur.

For the white Bordeaux wines, 3 hectares of vines are planted to 75% Sauvignon Blanc and 25% Semillon. The vineyard is planted to a vine density of 5,500 vines per hectare. The terroir is similar to what you can find in St. Emilion with its mix of clay, limestone, and gravel.

The clay in the soil goes down a foot or so, to a bedrock that is mostly made up of Asteria limestone soils. Asteria is one of the hardest types of limestone and is often used as a building material, due to its strength and density. You find it all over Bordeaux, especially in the Right Bank.

Chateau Grand Village uses many of the same vineyard farming techniques employed at their more famous estate, Chateau Lafleur in Pomerol. They practice pruning and de-budding adapted to each vine plant, crop thinning in summer, and de-leafing. The grapes are picked by hand.

This is followed by very careful sorting and selection. Chateau Grand Village is vinified in traditional cement vats and is aged 30% new, French oak barrels for an average of 12 months before bottling.

From there, the just used, new oak barrels are sent to Chateau Lafleur, where they are used for the aging of the Grand Vin and Pensees de Lafleur. On average, the production of Chateau Grand Village is close to 5,500 cases of wine per year.

Grand Village

Grand Village White Wine

Grand Village also produces 2 white wines from close to 3 hectares of vines. Grand Village Blanc is made from about 2.2 hectares of vines and Les Champs Libres comes from a small .8 hectare parcel of vines.

Grand Village Blanc has actually been produced since the 19th century, though it was not until recently that the family began focusing on the wine. In 2013, the Guinaudeau family introduced a new, white Bordeaux wine, Les Champs Libre which is made using 100% Sauvignon Blanc.

The best vintages of Chateau Grand Village are: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2012, 2010 and 2009.

When to Drink Chateau Grand Village, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau Grand Village is much better with at least 3-5 years of aging in good vintages. Young vintages can be decanted for 1 hour or so.

This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment. Chateau Grand Village offers its best drinking and should reach peak maturity between 4-15 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau Grand Village with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau Grand Village is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau Grand Village is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted, braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau Grand Village is also good when matched with Asian dishes, rich fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.

The white wine of Chateau Grand Village is perfect when paired with fresh seafood, shellfish, chicken, veal, and pork dishes, as well as sushi and sashimi.

Here’s a little secret for you, the Guinaudeau family refers to Grand Village, which is classified as a Bordeaux Superieur, as Lafleur’s second vineyard.

Dark cherries, licorice and cocoa will have you convinced this wine is a Pomerol. On the palate, this medium-bodied charmer is silky, sweet and round. It was produced from a blend of 97% Merlot and 3% Cabernet Franc, setting a record for the highest amount of Merlot ever placed in the blend. The elevated proportion of Merlot on the limestone and the added sensation of minerality mixed with lush fruits makes this an instant enchantress. I marvel at this production because half of the vineyard was destroyed by frost, generating only 9% of the 2016 release.
