GUINAUDEAU

Under the Guinaudeau Family Vignerons umbrella is the G’Acte series from Château Grand Village. The massale selection nursery - planted by Baptiste and Julie in 2009 with Cabernet Franc and Merlot cuttings from Château Lafleur - is maturing impressively. The family records its development each year - the viticultural equivalent of pencil height marks on a door frame - by producing modern, poised wines called G’Acte 1, G’Acte 2 and so. As time goes on, these statements should record Fronsac’s return to prominence in Bordeaux. Almost certainly, Château Grand Village wine deserves a higher status than Bordeaux Supérieur.
