Chateau La Fleur Peyrabon 2018

An intense and structured red wine from Pauillac

The property

In the heart of the Pauillac appellation, the Château La Fleur Peyrabon is a property with a 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.

The vintage

The 2018 vintage is an excellent year for Bordeaux. Praised by the press and international critics, Bordeaux wines are very successful. Although the winemakers struggled with the humidity at the beginning of the season, the 4 months leading up to the harvest were exceptional. They allowed the wines to reveal themselves and the grapes to reach their perfect maturity.

Blend

Cabernet Sauvignon (61%), complemented by Merlot (28.5%) and Petit Verdot (10.5%).
