Small quantities of this cult white wine are produced by the Guinaudeau family of Château Lafleur at their Grand Village property.
This is made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc (Massal selections from Sancerre)
The 2024 Les Champs Libres, pure Sauvignon Blanc picked on September 10 and 11, takes a little coaxing from the glass to gradually reveal subtle white flower, beeswax and Anjou pear scents. The palate is well balanced with lime cordial and citrus fruit on the entry giving way to hints of Japanese yuzu and Clementine towards the poised and persistent finish. This is simply one of the best whites produced in 2024 in Bordeaux. 2028 - 2045
Lemon and lime rind with sliced green melon. Some fresh lemongrass as well as white-pepper undertones. Medium-bodied, this has a tactile and energetic palate.
Prances out with showy notes of fresh pears, green apples, and yuzu zest, with hints of coriander seed, candle wax, and fennel seed. The light to medium-bodied palate is crisp and refreshing with intense citrus layers and a long chalky finish.
100% Sauvignon Blanc.
Grated ginger with citrus, chamomile, white tea, grip, energy, gunsmoke, preserved lemons. One of the very few wines this year that make you feel the smile, the electricity, and the desire to own it. Clay limestone soils, harvest 10 and 11 September. 100% Sancerre massal selections. One of the wines of the vintage, from the team at Château Lafleur.
The 2024 Les Champs Libres is vivid and beautiful but also quite reticent today. In 2024, Les Champs Libres is bright and nicely lifted, with deceptive depth to match its airy, refined personality. Les Champs Libres is 100% Sauvignon Blanc vinified and aged in French oak. Its balance is exquisite, even if the 2024 is not as showy as most vintages. 2026 - 2031
