Château Lafleur, Les Perrieres de Lafleur 2023

Château Lafleur’s Les Perrières de Lafleur 2023 is a compelling expression of Cabernet Franc from one of Bordeaux’s most admired estates. Refined yet powerful, it stands out for its layered fruit, floral perfume, and a mineral-driven finish that speaks clearly of Lafleur’s precision and pedigree.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, the 2023 vintage shows a deep, concentrated color that hints at its structure and intensity. The bouquet unfolds with violet, dark wild berries, spice, and licorice, offering a perfume that is both elegant and expressive. On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied, enveloping and deeply layered, with impressive fruit depth and powdery tannins that provide shape without harshness. The finish is long and distinctive, marked by a savory salinity and a pencil-like mineral edge. While already highly impressive, it should continue to gain complexity with age over the coming years.

Production
Made entirely from Cabernet Franc, Les Perrières de Lafleur 2023 reflects the careful work of Baptiste Guinaudeau and his team in Bordeaux. The wine draws its character from Lafleur’s meticulous vineyard approach and restrained, terroir-focused vinification, resulting in a cuvée of notable depth, texture, and purity.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with fine cuts of beef, lamb, game birds, duck, or dishes with earthy mushroom and truffle elements. Serve it at around 16–18°C, and consider decanting for one to two hours if drinking young to allow its aromatic complexity and structure to open fully.

Producer
Château Lafleur is one of Bordeaux’s most revered names, known for producing wines of remarkable finesse, intensity, and individuality. Though small in size, the estate has built an exceptional reputation in Pomerol and beyond for precision winemaking and distinctive terroir expression, with Baptiste Guinaudeau continuing to uphold its high standards and strong critical acclaim.
