Château Lafleur is widely recognised as one of greatest producers in Pomerol, producing wines of incredible balance, purity and elegance. The estate is rather compact, covering 4.5 hectares of vineyards, with 0.69 hectares dedicated to its second wine, Les Pensées de Lafleur. The 2019 vintage is a blend of 53% Merlot and 47% Cabernet Franc, offering a complex aroma and flavour profile including raspberries, aniseed, kirsch liqueur, liquorice, seaweed, white truffles, violets and sandalwood. The wine was awarded a perfect 100-point score by James Suckling, William Kelley and Jen Dunnuck.
99 Jane Anson
Rich and powerful on the nose, with layer upon layer of black and brambly fruits, fresh tobacco leaf. Really one to drink in, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, pencil lead, tobacco, flint, crushed earth, cigar box, inky and powerful and extremely confident. It has so much of the freshness and power of the 2016, with hints of smoked caramel that point to the generosity that is contained within the layers, set against the severity of slate minerality and tight tannins. Likely to shut down pretty severely from now, needs to be given a good 10 years.Jane Anson26th January 2022
98 Vinous
The 2019 Lafleur outperforms the 2018 in every facet—a brilliant wine. With a mélange of red and black fruit on the nose and hints of melted tar, this displays sensational delineation and focus, adopting an almost Burgundy-like purity. The palate is precise and far more mineral-driven than the preceding vintage, with a killer line of acidity that is some achievement given the warmth of the growing season. There is a dash of cracked black pepper and allspice on the persistent finish that leaves you wanting more. Could you broach it now? If you insist. Wise owls will give it another decade. Tasted from ex-château magnum at Kate & Kon's 40-Year vertical in Austria. Neal Martin2nd September 2025
98 The Wine Independent
Made from 53% Merlot and 47% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), the 2019 Lafleur is deep garnet-purple in color. It slowly grows in the glass, emerging with scents of blueberry compote, prunes, and dark chocolate, followed by suggestions of garrigue, cedar, and wild sage. The full-bodied palate is firm, grainy, and hedonic, featuring loads of savory nuances and finishing on a lingering aniseed note.Lisa Perrotti-Brown1st May 2023

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.
