The 2024 Les Perrières was picked from September 25 to October 3 from limestone soils. This has a pretty bouquet of redcurrant and cranberry scents with very discrete oak and touches of slate in the background. Very fine delineation. The palate is silky smooth on the entry with harmonious, pliable tannins and supremely well-judged acidity. A ripe, persistent, mineral-driven finish keeps this Les Perrières on its tippy-toes. Very impressive given the vintage, with so much freshness.

A blend of 80% Cabernet Franc (or "Bouchets," in the language of the Guinaudeau family) and 20% Merlot, the 2024 Les Perrières de Lafleur is a refined and pure wine that stands out despite the challenges of the vintage. It opens with a bouquet redolent of violet, cassis, fresh licorice and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, seamless and layered, the palate is chiseled and precise, supported by powdery tannins and lively acids and concluding with an ethereal, lingering finish.

The 2024 Les Perrières is laced with crushed red berry fruit, mint, white pepper, chalk, rose petal and dried herbs. Aromatic and vibrant, with mid-weight structure, the 2024 is quite attractive. Naturally, the 2024 does not have the intensity of the very best years.

80% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), 20% Merlot. Cask sample. Brambly fruit aromas. Some sweetness then lift and freshness. Marked tension but finely woven tannins. Stony, pebble-sucking finish. Touch austere at present. (JL)
