Compared by Neal Martin to the spectacular 1982 vintage, Lafleur 1989 is a beguiling blend of pure black fruit, crushed rock, dried flowers and elegant cedar notes. Still fresh in the glass, this medium bodied Pomerol will delight fans of the supple, silky style that defines top tier Right Bank Bordeaux.
- The 1989 Lafleur is a vintage that I have not encountered for several years. It has a typical Pomerol nose with black fruit, aniseed and a touch of fish oil. It's a bit wild and feral, but that's why you fall for its charms. The palate is beautifully balanced with impressive depth, a little more open than it was a decade ago. Maybe in the interim, it has parted with the "laser-like focus" I noted previously. However, it is very persistent, with a twist of sour cherry and brown spices toward the finish. Superb. You could drink this now, but there is more to give. Tasted at the 1989 Bordeaux dinner at 67 Pall Mall.

Chateau Lafleur

Chateau Lafleur

Château Lafleur has come to be recognised as one of greatest producers in Pomerol, offering wines of incredible balance, purity and elegance, with distinct mineral character. A stand out name for Bordeaux's Right Bank, the estate also produces a second red, Les Pensées de Lafleur, produced from a 0.68ha plot with its own distinct terroir - resulting in a lighter, more fragrant style compared to the Lafleur.

Despite both wines being classic blends of Cabernet Franc and Merlot with 20% new oak, the result is two quite different expressions: for example the the dominance of cigar-box and graphite Cabernet Franc complexity in the Lafleur.
