Yvon and Pâquerette Dubost worked in vine nurseries before creating their own domain Château Lafleur du Roy in 1958. This family property spans four hectares and the south-west facing vines are blessed with a lot of sunshine. Chemical products are forbidden and the Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are done by hand.

This cuvée is Merlot dominated although there is a touch of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon to give structure. The wine reveals a rich and complex bouquet of fruit, wood and leather. The finish is long and persistent while the tannic structure makes it ideal for ageing.
