Les Perrieres de Lafleur 2024 (750ML)

91-93 Points, Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "A blend of 80% Cabernet Franc (or "Bouchets," in the language of the Guinaudeau family) and 20% Merlot, the 2024 Les Perrières de Lafleur is a refined and pure wine that stands out despite the challenges of the vintage. It opens with a bouquet redolent of violet, cassis, fresh licorice and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, the palate is chiseled and precise, supported by powdery tannins and lively acids and concluding with an ethereal, lingering finish." 04/25

94 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: "Aerian, chalky fine tannins, and a heightened floral edge of peony and violets, caressed by gunsmoke and saffron. This is on the frontier of cool blue fruits, both austere and yet creamy. Brilliant, a wine to settle in for, and watch develop. Harvest September 11 to 19, vines all massal selection from Ch Lafleur, planted in 2016." 04/25

90-92 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2024 Les Perrières is laced with crushed red berry fruit, mint, white pepper, chalk, rose petal and dried herbs. Aromatic and vibrant, with mid-weight structure, the 2024 is quite attractive. Naturally, the 2024 does not have the intensity of the very best years." 04/25

93-94 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A fresh and slightly chalky wine with dried cherry, berry and lemon flavors. Medium body. Fine, integrated tannins. Pretty cantaloupe and orange flavors at the end." 05/25

93-95 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent: "Deep garnet-purple colored. Races out of the glass with energetic scents of red currant jelly, Bing cherries, and red roses, leading to hints of pencil shavings and charcoal. The medium-bodied palate delivers a rock-solid backbone of super-fine-grained tannins and bold freshness supporting the red berry and floral layers, finishing very long and minerally. Gorgeous!" 05/25

91-93 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "More Cabernet Franc dominated, the 2024 Les Perrieres De Lafleur is 80% Cabernet Franc (or Bouchets, a specific massal selection) and 20% Merlot that's resting all in barrel. Coming from more limestone soils, it has beautiful red currants, chalky minerality, and white flowers on the nose. This carries to a medium-bodied 2024 that has medium-bodied richness, a juicy yet still tight, focused mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and outstanding length." 05/25
