The vineyard of Château Lafleur The vineyards extend across carefully selected plots, where the clay and gravel soil plays a crucial role in the quality of the grapes. The vines, some several decades old, benefit from optimal sun exposure, promoting even ripening of the berries. Careful yield management ensures concentrated and healthy grapes, essential for crafting wines of such depth.
The team's opinion
The Thoughts of Lafleur 2017 holds a unique place in the world of Guinaudeau family wines. It is crucial to remember that this is not a "second vin"in the traditional sense of the term (from young vines), but a single-vineyard wine from a specific 0.7 hectare area in the heart of the Château Lafleur, whose soil is composed of deeper, richer clays. In the 2017 vintage, a year of precision and finesse, this wine expresses a remarkable balance.
