Famille Guinaudeau - Bordeaux Supérieur "Les Perrières" 2024

A Grand Cru born from the limestone of Fronsac

Les Perrières was born from an ambitious project: to transpose the identity of Lafleur’s grape varieties — Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) and Merlot — onto the limestone soils of the Fronsadais. After nine years of research, trials, and meticulous preparation, the vineyard was established in Villegouge, in the lieu-dit of Meyney, on the southwestern crest of the Fronsac plateau.

This distinctive terroir, shaped by ancient asteriated limestone quarries and shallow clay-limestone soils, offers a unique canvas for expression. The first vintage of Les Perrières, in 2018, marked the culmination of this foundational work, symbolically named “Acts 1 to 9.”

Composed in equal parts of Bouchet and Merlot, the cru is cultivated with the same high standards as the other wines of the Guinaudeau family. Les Perrières stands out for the precision of its tannins, its complexity, restrained power, and a remarkably long finish — a wine of character, whose kinship with Château Lafleur is unmistakable.
