Score 16/20 · Drink 2017-2019, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2016
From vines aged 60 to 90 years on grés and red silex on tuffeau. Ambient yeast and aged fro 11 months on fine lees in tronconic cask. Bottled in September 2015. Firm taffeta fruit on the front palate and more fruity appeal than its Cabernet stablemates. Quite satisfying on the finish. Very different! (JR)

The 2014 Grolleau has a pure, fresh and aromatic bouquet of red and dark fruits, along with floral and spicy underwood aromas. Light to medium-bodied, silky textured and elegant, this is a transparent and refreshing red with a very nice and honest tannin grip. It is bone dry and sour rather than sweet, but ripe, juicy and a great pleasure to drink.
