The 2017 Les Grandes Murailles, purchased by the Cuvelier family of Clos Fourtet around three years ago, has a floral bouquet, pressed rose petals infusing the cranberry and crushed strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly gritty tannin. There is plenty of soy-tinged dark berry fruit laced with black pepper, nicely balanced towards the finish even if it is just missing the energy that the best vintages of Les Grandes Murailles have offered. Drinking range: 2022 - 2038 Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (May 2018)

Medium to deep garnet-purple in color, the 2017 Grandes Murailles opens with fresh black raspberries and blackberries on the nose plus hints of charcuterie, tar and chargrill. The palate is medium-bodied with a well-played chewy frame coming into balance with the succulent fruit and ample freshness, finishing with a pleasant lift.

The 2017 Les Grandes Murailles (100% Merlot) is a plump, rounded, sexy 2017 that offers medium-bodied richness and depth, light tannin, and a relatively short finish. I love the purity of fruit of this seductive charmer that's going to drink nicely in its youth. Rating: 89-91 Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com (Apr 2018)

This has a toasted edge, offering a whiff of ganache throughout, but there’s good energy to the plum and blackberry core, with brambly structure carrying the finish. Should be very solid. Rating: 90-93 James Molesworth, The Wine Spectator (Apr 2018)
