Tasting Notes
The 2020 Les Champs Libres is gorgeous right out of the gate. In this vintage Les Champs Libres is quite savoury and floral, with the fruit pushed into the background. Dried flowers, mint, sage, white pepper and almonds all open with some time in the glass. Like the Grand Village Blanc, Les Champs Libres comes across as a bit reticent. I love the energy and vibrancy here. Give this time in bottle. ANTONIO GALLONI, VINOUS
Jacques & Sylvie Guinaudeau are unparalleled winemakers, and have been continuing the family tradition of creating top quality wines in the Pomerol sub-region. Every single "Cru" produced by the Guinaudeau family originates from exceptional massale selections of Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc (from Sancerre), and Semillon. As Antonio Galloni puts it, these wines are "majestic and are of tremendous stature" and with ageing they will all continue to finesse into truly remarkable works of art for your palate.
The very old vines, coupled with sustainable viticulture, are producing some of the most sought after wines on the planet. From Grand Village, to Champs Libres, Perrières, Pensées and Lafleur, each of these six wines carries an extraordinary pedigree from an immaculate terroir and worth every month in the cellar to host a perfect bouquet upon opening.
