Reviewed December 2024Highly floral with crayon, wet stone, iron and blue fruit aromas. Tense and energetic, with reverberating acidity and wild vibrancy. Bright strawberry, sour cherry and ripe blackcurrant create a thrilling contrast. The core has tension yet maintains elegance and finesse, and a hint of spice and cooling mint lingers, keeping everything fresh. Streamlined yet complex, this leaves an incredible impression that lasts for minutes. (GH)

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Les Perrières De Lafleur is stunning stuff, with another level of purity and precision. Darker cherries, blue fruits, spring flowers, graphite, and crushed stone notes define this sensational 2022. It's medium to full-bodied, has a focused, layered, elegant mouthfeel, building tannins, and a great finish. It brings another level of purity, precision, and elegance over the Grand Village and is going to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and have two decades of prime drinking.

Wine Advocate
The 2022 Les Perrières de Lafleur is the broadest, most unctuous rendition of this wine to date, but it retains its taut, minerally identity for all that. Offering up aromas of mulberries, violets and pen ink, it's medium to full-bodied, rich and incisive, with terrific depth and persistence. As readers will remember, Les Perrières derives from parcels situated on the higher-altitude plateau of Fronsac, planted with vine material from Château Lafleur. (WK)

So much sea-salt and chalkboard character with blue fruit and dark earth. Full-bodied yet chewy and linear with excellent length and intensity. 50% merlot and 50% cabernet franc.
