2025 Les Perrieres (Chateau Lafleur) Pre-Arrival Offer

Other Reviews...
The 2025 Vin de France Les Perrières is superb, revealing a fresh, gourmand bouquet of red berries that becomes more floral with aeration. Medium- to full-bodied, it’s tense, straight and crystalline, defined by pronounced limestone-driven acidity, concluding with a pure, precise and perfumed finish. It differs from Grand Village in its more immediate structural expression, with the chalky imprint evident throughout the palate. This is a blend of 56% Merlot (harvested September 5) and 44% Cabernet Franc (September 15).

The 2025 Les Perrières was picked between September 5 and 15. This has a vivid nose with blackberry, raspberry, crushed stone and light rose petal scents. Fine delineation and you can really feel that limestone terroir. The palate is beautifully balanced, with almost a touch of orange rind underneath the layer of red berry fruit. Fine poise, with a touch of white pepper, moderate length and fine precision on the finish. Excellent. Drink 2031-2048.

Gorgeous fruit, blueberry and salt aromas with such intensity and brightness. Medium-bodied, lively and vivid. Tangy and bright, with a hint of limestone. 56% merlot and 44% cabernet franc.

A blend of 56% Merlot and 44% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), the 2025 Les Perrières has a pure limestone-inflected nose of framboise, crushed stone, violets, blue fruits, and a salty minerality. On the palate, it's gorgeously textured and medium-bodied, with a juicy salinity that makes you salivate, beautiful balance, and a great finish. It's a complex, layered, elegant, yet silky beauty.

Smells ripe and fleshy with strawberry and cherry aspects, fragrant and a touch herbal also. Tangy from the get-go with pure red berry juiciness, a crystalline aspect and such grippy stony tannins. Lots of energy matched to really quite salty saline aspects. Starts off quite wide then narrows and focuses towards a long finish. Elegant but still super alive and given that lift by pronounced acidity. Ends long. Just a touch severe still for me with a citrus lemon juice aspect and a lot of tension although it gives the wine a real backbone. 3.4pH. Now designated as a Vin de France as are all the other wines in the Lafleur range. Drink 2028-2040.
