A wine that's liable to rival and indeed surpass the 2019 and 2018, the 2021 Les Perrières de Lafleur offers up a beautifully pure bouquet of raspberries, violets, rose petals, tobacco smoke and sweet spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and multidimensional, it's concentrated and chiseled, with a bright spine of acidity, ultra-refined tannins and a long, intensely saline finish. It's a blend of 59% Merlot and 41% massal selection Cabernet Franc taken from Château Lafleur.

The 2021 Les Perrières is the wine in the Guinaudeau family's range readers should focus on. Sure, Lafleur is epic, but it requires connections and resources to acquire. The Perrières, on the other hand, is easier to find, costs a fraction of the Grand Vin, and guess what? It is fabulous in 2021. Dense and packed, the Perrières overwhelms the senses with its captivating beauty. Dark fruit, gravel, spice, menthol and lavender infuse this virile, somber wine with tremendous nuance. I would be thrilled to own it.

Beautiful limestone characters, blood orange, black cherry, ripe plum. Ultra fine tannins, really sweet fruit and a purity of black fruit lifted by the bright, white limestone characters. Great finish, very savoury and elegant. Tremendous wine at the price.

The 2021 Les Perrières from the Guinaudeau family, the fourth vintage under this name, was picked from 30 September to 1 October. It has a well-defined bouquet with crushed stone infusing the cool black fruit, a hint of sea spray in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with fine, quit chiselled, slightly chalky tannins. Fresh and saline, there is a verticality towards the finish. Like the Grand Village, very impressive transparency here. Not persistent, yet undeniably finely chiselled. Getting close to their aim of producing a "Lafleur on limestone".

Mineral and floral notes. Terroir (limestone) driven. Lots of tannins but the flesh to round them out. Bright and fresh with a chalk and saline finish but still finding its feet. (JL)
