Description

Grape: 100% Merlot

Winemaking and ageing

The 100% Merlot grapes were harvested between 14 and 21 September 2020. Vinification took place in temperature-controlled concrete and stainless-steel vats, using gentle maceration and controlled extraction. The wine was aged for 16–18 months in French oak barrels, with approximately 30–40% new oak. Vintage technical sheet.

Food pairing

Château Lafleur-Gazin 2020 pairs beautifully with:

  • Beef fillet or Chateaubriand
  • Grilled ribeye steak
  • Roast lamb with rosemary
  • Duck breast with red-wine sauce
  • Slow-braised beef cheeks
  • Roast veal
  • Porcini mushrooms or truffle risotto
  • Mature Comté, Gruyère or aged Cheddar

Serve at 16–18°C Zalto Glassware. Decant for approximately one to two hours before serving. It is drinking beautifully now but can continue developing through the early-to-mid 2030s when stored correctly.
