Château Lafleur is widely recognised as one of finest estates in Pomerol, producing wines of incredible balance, purity and elegance. The property is rather compact, covering approximately 4.5 hectares of vineyards. Its grand vin is a consistently high-scoring wine and very sought-after among collectors. This release is from the 2010 vintage, a blend of 62% Cabernet Franc and 38% Merlot. It’s a full-bodied wine, featuring a complex aroma and flavour profile, including notes of red and black fruits, cedarwood, plum tart, a touch of pencil shavings and liquorice. Very approachable now but it will age nicely for decades to come.

The 2010 Lafleur is showing a lot of Cabernet Franc on the nose. It is supremely well defined with incredibly clarity and terroir expression. You could almost mistake it for a Left Bank. Figeac? The palate is precise and detailed, touches of burnt toast and white pepper sprinkled over the persistent and structured finish that does not miss a step. Brilliant. Tasted blind at Farr Vintners 10-Year On Bordeaux horizontal.

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.
