Pensées de Lafleur 2000 is a full-bodied, blended red wine from the Owned by the Guinaudeau family, Château Lafleur is a tiny 4.5-hectare Pomerol property situated opposite Pétrus. The estate is known for producing some of the most sought-after and highly rated wines in the region. ‘Les Pensees de Lafleur’ is the second wine of the Château, produced from younger vines or lots that did not make it into the final blend of the Grand Vin. This cuvée is typically more approachable in its youth and offers an opportunity to enjoy the style and quality of Château Lafleur at a more accessible price point. The 2000 is a roughly equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. "The 2000 Pensées de Lafleur has a very attractive bouquet with blackberry, incense and iris, moving towards secondary aromas such as dried blood and a touch of orange rind. This feels very fresh in the mouth, cohesive with a savoury undercurrent. This is quite foursquare for Pensées, not quite as exuberant and intense as the 2005 with a grainy, peppery finish." Neal Martin, 2018

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.
