{"product_id":"lafleur-2008","title":"Lafleur 2008","description":"Lafleur 2008 is a mature-vintage Right Bank Bordeaux from the appellation of Pomerol. Château Lafleur is a small property located opposite the legendary Château Pétrus - and to many Bordeaux aficionados this property produces wines of similar magnitude to its illustrious neighbour. Extremely low yields in the vineyard and a minimalist approach in the cellar produces wonderfully expressive wines with a seductive perfume (partly attributable to the high proportion of Cabernet Franc in the blend). Lafleur is typically a blend of 50\/50 blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wine is aged in 50% new barriques for 18 months. \"The 2008 Lafleur is a wine that I have tasted several times. It mirrored my previous encounters. There is still impressive fruit concentration on the nose, equally distributed between red and black, a hint of clove and just a touch of Italian delicatessen emanating from the Cabernet Franc. The palate has just melted a little since its obdurate infancy, although it is still quite linear and \"strict\". You might argue that the 2008 Lafleur is a little charmless at the moment, but bottle age will sculpt and abrade this Pomerol into a very fine, if slightly aloof wine.\" Neal Martin, 2018","brand":"Chateau Lafleur","offers":[{"title":"Duty Paid","offer_id":62412078711114,"sku":"HED0487","price":590.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/7696\/2634\/files\/HED0487.jpg?v=1781890844","url":"https:\/\/hedonism.co.uk\/products\/lafleur-2008","provider":"Hedonism Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
