Produced in Mouillac, Bordeaux by Sylvie and Jacques Guinaudeau, Les Champs Libres is a barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc made using an old Sancerre clone of the grape. Fermented and aged in old Taransaud oak barrels which bring delicious structure and creaminess to the wine. Julia Harding MW names this Bordeaux Blanc "the Chablis of Bordeaux".
Nestled next door to Pomerol’s Petrus, Château Lafleur measures a mere 4.5ha, planted almost exactly with half Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) and half Merlot. Since the Guinaudeau family took control of production, an already highly regarded cru has reached greater heights, with more obsessive precision of selection and timing of picking, as well as more nuanced use of barrels. Combining their mineral expression of Merlot, with the perfume and complexity of Bouchet (Cabernet Franc) the Guinaudeau family has managed to create some of the most elegant, long-lived and collectible wines in Bordeaux.
