Chateau La Fleur Peyrabon 2013

A full-bodied and delicate red wine from Pauillac

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 takes pride in producing 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

Hand harvesting followed by rigorous sorting and destemming. Vinification in concrete vats (merlot) and barrels (on batches of cabernet). Maceration of about 21 days. Progressive extraction before malolactic fermentation and aging for 14 months in barrels (of which 50% are new).

Grape variety

Château La Fleur Peyrabon oversees a vineyard composed of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and petit verdot.
