Description / Reviews
// 100% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), the first vintage with no Merlot. Sustainable.
"Founded in 2018 by Julie and Baptiste Guinaudeau, Les Perrières is a novel interpretation of the unique Bouchet de Lafleur, translated through the great limestone terroir of the Fronsac region. Les Perrières derives from four adjacent parcels on the plateau of Meyney. Manual harvest is performed with double sorting at the vineyard and a third sorting at the cellar." - Clos Cachet, Importer
"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." - 95-96 Points, James Suckling
"The 2023 Les Perrières, pure Cabernet Franc, has a well-defined bouquet with mineral-driven black fruit, light marine scents, quite linear and strict in style with beguiling purity. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a perfectly pitched line of acidity, again, quite marine-influenced in style with a silky smooth finish that lingers in the mouth." - 92 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous
"Surprisingly more mineral than floral on the nose. Pure fruit on the palate with quite a bit of tension. Pin-point tannins with a chalky nuance and no exaggeration. Limestone terroir has the upper hand at the moment." - 16+/20, James Lawther MW, Jancis Robinson
