2009 Ch. La Fleur Gazin, Pomerol

One of the most elegant wines we tried from Pomerol, the 2009 Lafleur Gazin was full of delicious red and black bramble fruit, with an undeniable purity on the nose and dense, ripe tannins. Not one of the high alcohol powerhouses but all the better for it – a superbly balanced wine.

Deep crimson. Very warm, rich and welcoming. Very plump and even quite spicy. Then it becomes much drier on the palate. Rather a restrained, even inky, Pomerol, as though it had been corseted.

This masculine, muscular style of Pomerol displays a dark ruby/purple color and a distinct earthy profile, with notes of meat, herbs, plum sauce and black currants. It is medium-bodied and ripe, but probably the most rustic of all the wines from the house of Jean-Pierre Moueix with the exception of Bourgneuf.

Perfumed and fruity on the nose, with medium body and firm tannins. The finish turns to ripe strawberries and raspberries. A little subdued.
