The team's opinion

The 2021 is a wine for purists of Lafleur. While the 2020 is a "monument" of density, the 2021 is delicate and refined. It wonderfully expresses the nobility of Bouchet (the local name for Cabernet Franc), which here takes center stage in terms of aromatic character. This is a wine that will undoubtedly require some patience for its tannic structure to integrate, but it promises an evolution of rare complexity.
