Château
Naujan Lapeyrere
Premières Côtes de Bordeaux

Tasting notes
A lovely dark red colour with orange highlights. Elegant nose, both intense and complex with smells of red and black candied berries (wild cherry and blackberry), and hints of tobacco, leather and toasted wood. On the palate, the tannins are present but they are well coated and enhance the aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, toasted and fresh vanilla. A well made wine which you can start to drink as of today (decant it about two hours before serving). Goes very will with a spit-roasted leg of lamb, or with partridge and cabbage.

Château
Lafleur
Naujan
Bordeaux Supérieur

Château Lafleur Naujan, Bordeaux superieur grows on clayey limestone soil planted with 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet.
These well tended vineyards provide high quality grapes. With this first rate material, our Cellar Master uses a combination of his know how of traditional winemaking with performing modern vinification techniques and an ageing period of twelve months in oak barrels to yield a dark hued, nicely fleshy, supple, and aromatic wine. A few years mellowing, this wine becomes eminently drinkable.
It was awarded the Silver Medal in 2000 in Mâcon;   a Bronze Medal in 2001 in Paris

Château
Lafleur
Naujan
Bordeaux Clairet

Tasting notes :
The colour is of an unusual transparent yet intense hue. The nose is expressive and youthful with smells of small red fruit, acid drops, grenadine syrup, white roses and delicate spices. The palate it light and fresh, with aromas of cherry, white currants, crushed strawberry, and ginger. A lovely Clairet as we like it to be, thirslessening, flowing and fruity. This is the perfect drink to enjoy before a meal, or on a light mixed salad, or again, to sip on the terrace while the moon comes out.

Lafleur Naujan
Bordeaux Sauvignon

Tasting notes :
Beautiful golden yellow colour with green highlights. The nose is very classical, though quite refined for a dry Bordeaux white wine, with a nice floral aspect (hawthorn, Queen Anne’s lace and lime blossom), elegant fragrances of green apple and grapefruit, along with a hint of mineral in the aftertaste. Intense and fresh entry on the palate followed by beautiful aromas of quince, poached pear and flowers. A delicate freshness lifts up the pleasant finish. A perfect bottle to drink on a warm salad of crayfish or a grilled John Dory (saint pierre).

Cadillac

Tasting notes :n
A beautiful wine with a deep and dark golden sheen. A great nose with rich aromas and smells of candied quince and orange peel, with notes of royal jelly, toasted almond and vanilla appearing after swirling the glass. On the palate, the entry is ample and generous, with a taste of acacia honey and marsh-mellow, poached yellow peach, apricot, gingerbread and vanilla. A splendid wine to sip over a helping of foie gras, of course!
