The 2014 G Acte 6 showed extremely well when I tasted it from barrel. Now in bottle, it has a compelling bouquet with cranberry, potpourri and light incense aromas, just a hint of bell pepper emanating from the Cabernet Franc. The palate is medium-bodied with with firm tannin, superb salinity, fine focus and real precision on the (still) slightly chalky finish. This is well worth hunting down. Baptiste Guinaudeau told me that it is the first "Acte" that he is proud of, and I can understand why.
56% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Franc from a south-facing limestone and clay slope in the commune of Fronsac. The first year with all selection massale from Lafleur. Made by the owners of Ch Grand Village. Bright crimson. Pure, sleek fruit on the nose. Then ambitious, clean and racy fruit on the palate. Very pure and transparent. New style! And very long. It really builds on the end. Impressive. (JR)
56% Merlot, 44% Cabernet Franc (including some massale selection from Lafleur). Special parcel on calcaire. Made by the owners of Ch Grand Village . Markedly deep cherry red. Rich and lively and velvety. A little dry on the end at the moment but lots of life and energy. Dried-cherry flavours. (JR)
