JAMES SUCKLING: "This is really crunchy and pure with a black-cherry, orange-peel and mineral character. It’s medium-bodied with intensity and purity. Salty, minerally and vivid. Exciting. From limestone soils."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2023 Les Perrières de Lafleur reveals aromas of violet, dark wild berries, spices and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and deep, layered and textured, it has a good depth of fruit with powdery tannins, concluding with a saline, lead pencil-inflected finish. Crafted entirely from Cabernet Franc, it’s one of the most singular Les Perrières produced by Baptiste Guinaudeau and his team."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Feine frische Kräuterwürze, dunkle Waldbeeren, etwas Sanddorn, zart nach Lakritze, erstmals ein purer Cabernet Franc (oder Bouschet), Nuancen von Tabak, floral, zarter Eisentouch. Stoffig, sehr pur und frisch, vibrierend und mineralisch, salzig und lange anhaftend, zeigt seine Muskeln nur im Ansatz, ein straffer Speisenbegleiter mit gutem Reifepotenzial."
