Tasting notes
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.

80% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), 20% Merlot. Cask sample. Brambly fruit aromas. Some sweetness then lift and freshness. Marked tension but finely woven tannins. Stony, pebble-sucking finish. Touch austere at present. (JL)
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.
