Tasting Notes

The Guinaudeau family, owners of Château Lafleur, began their Acte series with the intention of producing a more affordable wine whilst retaining all the hallmarks of their famed estate. Acte is a new player on the Right Bank born of the brilliance of one of the best established and most lauded estates. Using Lafleur massale vine clones on clay-limestone terroir in Fronsac this wine artfully communicates the considerable potential of this lesser known appellation. The tiny south facing plot allows the Merlot and Cabernet Franc to achieve ripeness levels that provide immediate pleasure as well as the ability to cellar for many years. Acte, then, is a Grand Vin in its own right and tasted alongside Pensées de Lafleur and Lafleur its pedigree is clear to see.
