Chateau La Fleur Peyrabon 2012

The creaminess and freshness of a Pauillac red wine

The property

In the heart of the Pauillac appellation, the Château La Fleur Peyrabon is a property of great personality. On the left bank of Bordeaux, this property has been brilliantly managed by Patrick Bernard since 1998, who makes it a point of honor to produce elegant and refined wines.

The vineyard

Located in the commune of Saint-Sauveur on the left bank of the Bordeaux region, the vineyard of Château La Fleur Peyrabon benefits from a very large sandy gravel terroir resting on clay subsoils, which allows the production of typical crus of the Pauillac appellation.

Vinification and aging

Manual harvest followed by rigorous sorting and destemming. Parcel vinification in concrete and stainless steel vats. Maceration for about 21 days. Progressive extraction before malolactic fermentation and aging for 14 months in barrels (50% of which are new).

Blend

Cabernet sauvignon and merlot.
