Château Grand Village is nestled in the heart of the Bordeaux winegrowing landscape, in Mouillac, alongside some of the region’s finest appellations. Sylvie and Jacques Guinaudeau took over the domain in 1979 and cultivate the 15 hectares of vines on clay-limestone soils with great passion. Helped by their son Baptiste and his wife Julie, they apply sustainable farming practices in the vineyards. Aware of today’s environmental challenges and with a view to protecting biodiversity, they cultivate each parcel with unique care, according to their needs, to allow each parcel to express its personality. Unsurprisingly, in the winery, vinification involves very little intervention, and sulphur is added in minute quantities to allow the fruit to fully express all its aromas naturally. It is in this privileged and authentic context that the domain produces exceptional vintages, reflecting a unique terroir sublimated by meticulous traditional expertise.

Everything started when the estate set out to develop a new range of wines that would express the finest facets of the terroir with great elegance. This led to the release of Cuvée G Acte 7, the fruit of a meticulous blend of 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc. In the vineyard, grapes are exclusively hand-picked to preserve the soils and fruit. Once harvested and meticulously sorted, the grapes undergo a gentle maceration stage to extract the delicious aromas of the fruit. The cuvée is aged in barrels for 15 months before being bottled.
The bright colour reveals a rich and powerful nose characterised by notes of violet and subtle hints of toast. On the palate, a juicy and soft substance reveals smooth tannins, leading to a fresh, mineral and persistent finish. This superb red wine should be cellared for several years to reveal its full potential.
