Château Lafleur

Château Lafleur is A tiny 4.5-hectare Pomerol property located opposite Pétrus and producing wines of comparable quality. Lafleur is owned and run by Sylvie and Jacques Guinadeau. Its vineyards are situated on the gravel-rich Pomerol plateau and adjoin those of La Fleur-Pétrus. The soils here are particularly deep and are enriched by deposits of potassium and iron. Only natural fertilisers are used and yields are painfully low, even by Pomerol standards.

Lafleur's wine is typically a blend of Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Franc (50%). It is aged in small oak barrels (50% new) for 18 months. Wines from Lafleur display a spectacularly intense perfume (partly attributable to the high percentage of Cabernet Franc in the blend) and display layers and layers of concentrated, black fruits, minerals, tobacco spices and creamy liquorice on the palate. The best vintages can last for up to 50 years.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Merlot, For laying down, 13.5% alc. "Sadly, there are only 1,000 cases of the brilliant 2004 Lafleur...A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, the 2004 presently possesses a certain austerity, along with fabulous concentration, and intense kirsch liqueur, licorice, truffle, and spice characteristics. Stunningly proportioned, medium to full-bodied, and powerful, it comes across like a modern day version of Lafleur's brilliant 1979. The aromatics can fill a room, but the tannins kick in in the mouth. Give this Pomerol 5-8 years of cellaring, and drink it over the following 25 ."

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Merlot, For laying down, 12.5% alc. Wines Lying in Barrel , Not available for delivery. Mid but not especially deep crimson. Low-key nose – on the nose not a great difference between Pensées and Lafleur although Lafleur opened up in the glass, which promises well for what it might do in bottle. Very firm and more serious than Pensées on the palate. 43% Cabernet Franc! and very marked by it. Very fresh and brisk. Very crunchy – exploded in the mouth. Very clean and energetic. Tannins a little dry on the finish (Jancis Robinson - jancisrobinson.com - 14-Apr-2008) MORE Drink: 2012 -2019 . Jancis Score: 17.5/20.

	Medium-Full Bodied, Dry, Red, Merlot, For laying down, 13.5% alc. The 2005 Lafleur is tight and austere at present, but unquestionably enormously endowed. It displays a dense ruby/purple hue as well as a beautiful bouquet that only emerges with coaxing. Aeration is essential in order to release the subtle, restrained scents of licorice, kirsch liqueur, black truffles, and flowers. In the mouth, there is compelling richness, depth, and intensity, but the wine’s power, full body, forbiddingly backward style, and high tannins suggest significant cellaring will be required. (Robert Parker- Wine Advocate - Apr 08) MORE Drink: 2020 -2050 . Parker Score: 95 -96 /100.
