Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2020 Clos Grangeneuve reveals a good intensity of pure blackberry and raspberry notes, plus suggestions of bouquet garni, iron ore and woodsmoke, with a touch of truffles. The medium-bodied palate is elegantly styled and refreshing, delivering crunchy red and black fruits with compelling savory accents and a soft texture, finishing with a lively lift.

The 2016 Clos Grangeneuve has a pleasant bouquet with clean black cherry and cranberry scents, the oak a little obvious at the moment, but that will be subsumed with time. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly raw tannin and it seems to lacks some freshness towards the austere, slightly dry finish.

The 2014 Clos Grangeneuve felt a little rustic on the nose and just missed the detail of some of its peers. The palate is medium-bodied, linear, simple and a little tinny towards the finish. Early-drinking Pomerol.
