Peter Maude Fine Wines
2019, Les Perrières, BORDEAUX Supérieur Rouge (Ch. Lafleur)
$158
Bordeaux Blend: Cabernet Franc, Merlot.
The second vintage of Les Perrières (59% Cabernet Franc, 41% Merlot), made by the same team and vine genetics as Lafleur but on limestone terroir in Fronsac. Bramble black fruits on the nose with tiny hints of dark chocolate, slate and scented violets. Super-juicy on the palate, playful and light in terms of clarity with veins of chalk and minerality. Smooth, pure and well framed with abundant freshness that stays long on the finish. Finely detailed with salinity. Delicious. 95/100 Georgina Hindle, Decanter.
Drinking Window: 2025 - 2045
