The Grand Noir, a three-time Wine Enthusiast award winner
The Le Grand Noir range has just received three new accolades from the American magazine Wine Enthusiast, one of the most widely followed international critics. Three cuvées are praised, including a Chardonnay rated 90 points.
The "Best Buy" mention is not a score: it is an accolade that Wine Enthusiast reserves for wines whose value for money stands out clearly in their category. Awarded to three cuvées from the same range, it speaks volumes about the consistency of the work behind Le Grand Noir.

Le Grand Noir Chardonnay 2025 — 90 points & Best Buy The highest score in the series. A Chardonnay that incorporates 15% Viognier, giving it an extra aromatic brilliance without ever weighing down the whole. "Aromas of honey, beeswax and pineapple cream express themselves on the nose of this cuvée, which incorporates 15% Viognier. The palate offers a beautiful tension, where flavors of pear and peach meet a hint of sea salt." — Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 & Best Buy |

Le Grand Noir Pinot Noir 2025 — Best Buy "The stubborn soloist" confirms its reputation: a generous and immediately accessible Pinot Noir, without losing precision. "A luscious black cherry and baking spices are easily appreciated on the nose. The palate shows the same familiarity, with flavors of cherry and star anise carried by a supple texture." — Wine Enthusiast, Best Bu |
|
Le Grand Noir Cabernet Sauvignon 2024 — Best Buy "The two aristos", aged six months in oak, play the card of straightforwardness and readability. "Light aromas of red fruits meet mineral notes of clay on the nose of this cuvée. The palate is just as direct, dominated by nuances of herbs and blackberry." — Wine Enthusiast, Best Buy |
