Tasting Notes
The 2024 Grand Village Blanc is terrific. It's bright, sculpted and bristling with energy. Lemon peel, chalk, mint, white pepper and slate are all finely cut. Clean saline notes lend considerable energy throughout. This is a fantastic showing.

Fragrant aromatics on the opening, grated coconut, citrus, lime zest, soft ginger, white pear, this is great quality, sappy and moreish. 50% barrels, 50% stainless steel, 1.8ha of clay limestone, Harvest 5 to 11 September. Small part from Sancerre massal selections, 52h/h yield, Lafleur team.
The 2024 Grand Village Blanc was picked from September 5 to 11. This has a vivacious bouquet with lime flower, honeysuckle and light wild peach notes that are beautifully defined. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a lightly spiced opening. It is delineated with just a dab of orange rind on the finish. The 2024 is irresistible.
