Château LAFLEUR - Thoughts of Lafleur 2016
Château Lafleur is located in Saint-Emilion , in the Bordeaux wine region. Since 2002 it has been owned by Dassault Wine Estates . The Dassault family, passionate pioneers of the aeronautics industry, new technologies and the art markets, became interested in great wines very early on. The properties of Dassault Wine Estates have extended over the years over 50 hectares and today form one of the largest wine estates in Saint-Emilion. All of the viticultural work, carried out with care throughout the year, is thought out and reasoned according to the potential of the vintage and the different plots. These efforts contribute to obtaining an optimal and healthy maturity of the grapes. The vinification work takes place in small capacity concrete and stainless steel vats allowing each plot to be accommodated separately. These plot vinifications are combined with vinification in barrels.
Pensées de Lafleur is produced from grapes harvested on sandy-gravelly clays located in the heart of the Lafleur vineyard.
Grapes: 55% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Franc
