Societe Civile du Chateau Lafleur - Les Perrières 2022

Les Perrières de Lafleur unfurls in the glass with aromas of raspberries and cherries.

Founded in 2018 by Julie and Baptiste Guinaudeau, Les Perrières is a novel interpretation of the unique Bouchet de Lafleur, translated through the great limestone terroir of the Fronsac region. Les Perrières derives from four adjacent parcels on the plateau of Meyney. Manual harvest is performed with double sorting at the vineyard and a third sorting at the cellar.

The 2022 Les Perrières de Lafleur shows just how adapted this higher-altitude site on the plateau of Fronsac is to warmer vintages. Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and raspberries, sweet spices and rose petals, it’s medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with racy acids and a taut, mineral profile. It’s another brilliant effort from this visionary project. 94-96 points, William Kelley, Wine Advocate.
