2018 Château La Fleur Garderose Saint Emilion Grand Cru, Bordeaux, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
This grand cru is a selection of the most promising casks, typically from the oldest of their seven hectares of vines in the Graves section of Saint-Émilion near Libourne and the commune of Figeac, averaging 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc. Raised in demi-muids, foudres and terracotta amphorae, bottled after 18 months, unfined and unfiltered.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Christophe Pueyo, the family’s 5th generation took control of the domaine from his father and uncle in 2010, and has since converted the estate to organic viticulture and replaced many of the barriques with demi-muids and foudres (and the occasional amphora). The domaine controls just 16 ha of vines the Bordeaux AOC, with 7.2 ha within the Saint Émilion AOC, and a further 1.5 ha planted to white grapes. The estate produces wines labelled Tellus Vinea, Château Belregard-Figeac, La Fleur Garderose, and Héllebore, Galipette, Achillea and Orchis.
