Returns Simplified.Les Perrires was born from the idea of creating a new vineyard, planted with Bouchet vines from Lafleur on top of the famous fossil-spotted limestone soils of Fronsac. Nine years of research and life-size experimentation were needed for Baptiste and Julie Guinaudeau to finally realize the vineyard of Les Perrires: terroir selection, soil studies, purchasing parcels, uprooting existing vines and, finally, planting.
Quality and precision of tannins, complexity combined with restrained power, and a very long and mineral finish, all of those make Les Perrires a true grand vin, and undoubtedly a close family member of Chteau Lafleur.
92+ Points – VinousThe 2020 Les Perrires from limestone soils is the first vintage with massal-selection Merlot (from Lafleur). It has an exceptionally pure bouquet of intense black berry and blueberry fruit, crushed stone and touches of Japanese nori. The medium-bodied palate is structured, tensile and very saline, with taut tannins and that limestone-driven pixelation clearly apparent on the finish. Vibrant, almost steely, this will require 23 years in bottle.
94 Points – DecanterThis is a wine for those who really love going deep-diving into limestone. It performs the acrobatic, trapeze artist feat of tiptoeing high above the palate with gunsmoke, cool blueberry and redcurrant fruits and flowers curling upwards. Austere and fierce, stretching forward, then softening as it opens, although it takes its time to do so. There is really a feeling that they are doing something different here, thinking deeply about what it means to link wine’s sense of a place to its expression in a glass. Brilliant.
