(93% merlot with 7% cabernet franc): Good deep, bright ruby. Musky aromas of dark cherry, sweet spices, smoke and violet. Round, supple and sweet on entry, showing an almost liqueur-like quality to its red fruit flavors, then more austere toward the back, with firm acidity toughening things up. Finishes moderately long, with enticing notes of minerals and herbs. This lovely wine is a testament to the immense talents of Baptiste Guinaudeau of Chateau Lafleur, who also makes the wines of Grand Village. Given the vintage weather, this is the first time Grand Village has had this much merlot, but Guinaudeau told me it was a well-pondered decision aimed at taking advantage of the softer, charming side of the merlot this year. Score - 87-89. (Ian D'Agata, vinousmedia.com, May 2013)
