Produced from a near equal blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this multi-layered, powerful red offers up black fruited notes with complex sous bois, tobacco and pencil shaving character. The eighth vintage of this wine produced by Jacques and Sylvie Guinaudeau.

The 2016 Acte 8 is a little more intensity on the nose compared to the Acte 6 with layers of blackberry, briary, touches of blueberry and violet. This is extremely precise and extremely pure. The palate is medium-bodied with filigree tannin, more rondeur than the 2015 and exceptional harmony and poise. This seems to shimmer with energy – displayed just the right amount of sappiness to urge another sip. Tasted at the Acte vertical in London. Neal Martin1st July 2019

Chateau Lafleur

Pomerol's Other Superstar

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.
