    Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

    The 2019 Les Perrieres is composed of 2/3 Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) and 1/3 Merlot. Deep garnet-purple in color, it opens with considerable oak scents on the nose followed by a core of red and black plums, plus suggestions of fruitcake and Indian spices. The full-bodied palate is packed with oak-laced fruit, supported by chewy tannins and a lively backbone, finishing savory.

    The 2019 Les Perrières de Lafleur is too oaky on the nose and this masks the terroir expression. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, graphite infused black fruit with a strict and structured finish redeemed by satisfying freshness. A bit "serious" for a Pomerol at this level, but it may surprise with bottle age. Tasted blind at the Southwold annual tasting.

    A striking wine from the limestone plateau of Fronsac planted with massale selections from Lafleur, the 2019 Les Perrieres de Lafleur is indecently good. Bursting with aromas of raspberries, violets, warm spices and rose petals, it's full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a racy, tensile profile and a long, intensely mineral finish. Les Perrieres de Lafleur is compelling testimony to the primacy of vine genetics over age, as the Cabernet Franc here is a mere 3-4 years old and the Merlot 7-8, yet the resulting wine already boasts incredible intensity and character. It certainly puts the "Superieur" in the appellation "Bordeaux Superieur."

    This has earthy, graphite-laced cool blue fruits that you wouldn't necessarily associate with a solar vintage like 2019. It says a lot for the deft, skilful winemaking, as this delivers a sense of verticality and lift through the palate, and edges of elderflower and pencil lead delicacy. Gathers in intensity, reflects its limestone soils. Demands attention and patience. From the Guinaudeau family, as with Château Lafleur in Pomerol.
