2006 Ch. La Fleur Gazin, Pomerol

This generous, excellent value Pomerol comes courtesy of Christian Moueix, the God of Libourne, responsible for such illustrious names as Pétrus, Lafleur and Trotanoy. The timing of the harvest around the September rains was crucial in 2006 and Moueix have got it spot on here. This has bags of delicious soft cherry Merlot fruit, good depth and concentration, especially for the vintage, and a very fine supple texture. A lovely rich cassis and plum nose tops it off a treat.
