Lafleur 2015 is a Bordeaux blend from the Pomerol appellation, crafted from 51% Merlot and 49% Cabernet Franc. This vintage reveals layered notes of loganberry, spice and earthy minerals, intertwined with hints of chocolate and mulberry. On the palate, it presents a vivid complexity with flavours of black cherry liqueur and tayberry, balanced by fine tannins.

Beautifully handled, with layers of grilled cocoa bean, caramel sweetness that places you squarely in Pomerol at the decade mark, pure pleasure, satin texture, fragrant cumin spice, edges of violets and crushed roses as it opens up through the glass. Exceptional, years ahead. Gorgeous. Just 13.5%abv in 2014, so this is a jump up in terms of ripeness, takes it on effortlessly. 20% new oak, Guinaudeau family owners.Jane Anson19th February 2025

The 2015 Lafleur, like the bottles tasted earlier this year, is a little reluctant on the nose, gradually opening with slightly blacker fruit (in this larger format) as well as those enticing pencil shaving and black truffle aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins, perhaps less silky than those I found in bottle but complex and harmonious. The cedar and graphite-tinged finish is backward yet compelling. Outstanding. Tasted from ex-château magnum at Kate & Kon's 40-Year vertical in Austria. Neal Martin2nd September 2025

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.
