STORY BEHIND THE WINE

Château Lafleur du Roy was created in 1958 by Yvon and Pâquerette-Dubost, who came to viticulture through their vine nurseries. This 4-hectare family property, located at an altitude of 60 m, facing south-west, and benefiting from very good sunshine, has vines that are 40 to 45 years old. The vineyard benefits from a gravelly sand soil with an abundant underlayer of alios, more commonly called "crasse de fer" in the region.
