Château Grand Village
At Château Grand Village in Bordeaux, close to Fronsac and Pomerol, the quiet authority of the Guinaudeau family shapes every decision. The estate has belonged to their world for centuries; from 2000 onward it was farmed and vinified with the same exacting spirit associated with Château Lafleur.The vineyards sit on the limestone and clay belt of the Right Bank, where Merlot, Cabernet Franc and selected white varieties are treated as precise translations of place. Replanting, massal selection and cellar work follow the logic of individual parcels rather than broad appellation habit.
Grand Village is not a Bordeaux of noise, but of origin: landscape, family, soil and craft interlock. Its proximity to Pomerol gives depth, yet the identity remains proudly its own, marked by Guinaudeau precision and the rare ambition to find grandeur in a village name.
