Chateau La Fleur Peyrabon 2022

A rich and balanced great Pauillac red wine

The estate

In the heart of the Pauillac appellation, Château La Fleur Peyrabon is an estate with a great personality. On Bordeaux’s Left Bank, this property has been brilliantly managed by Patrick Bernard since 1998, who makes it a point of honour to produce elegant and refined wines, reflecting all the uniqueness of this great terroir.

In September 2022, Château Peyrabon and Château Fleur Peyrabon were acquired by the BCAP group (Castéja family), owners of Château Batailley and Château Lynch-Moussas.

The vineyard

Château La Fleur Peyrabon is a Pauillac wine made from a vineyard of almost 5 hectares. The vines are 22 years old on average and are planted on sandy gravel on a clay subsoil, making a great Médoc terroir.

Winemaking and ageing

Manual and mechanical harvesting. The grapes are transferred by vibrating container, de-stemmed and optically sorted, then crushed and vatted. The vinification is carried out in concrete vats and in barrels for the Petit Verdot batches. Average maceration of 21 days. The presses are systematically separated into barrels. Part of the wine is placed in barrels at the time of running off. The wine is aged for 14 months in barrels (50% new wood).

Blend

Château La Fleur Peyrabon 2022 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (57%), Merlot (30%) and Petit Verdot (13%).
