[Wine Cellar Insider] 31.01.2012 The advantage we have is that our plots are on very good land, "the plateau" of Pomerol, with deep clay soil which allows us to control the vine, water, and support the warm, dry years like 2011. [Wine Cellar Insider] 06.12.2011 Since 1998, Chateau L'Eglise Clinet has been producing some of the finest wine in the Pomerol appellation.

[Wine Cellar Insider] 24.11.2011 Today I return to the Hugues Beaulieu Picpoul de Pinet, which I last made a Wine of the Week in 2008, for the version of ’07. Now it’s the turn of the rendition of 2010. The Picpoul de Pinet HB 2010, Coteaux de Languedoc, produced by the Caves de Pomérols cooperative, reiterates this wine’s status (...)

In fact, The Guinaudau's refer to Grand Village as "Lafleur’s second vineyard".
