Consistently one of the greatest Pomerols and making on average only 1000 cases a year, Lafleur is one of Bordeaux`s most sought-after estates. Its vineyard planted almost equally with Merlot and Cabernet Franc on rare gravel-rich soil. This gives wines with more grip and savoury tension than typical plush Pomerol, alongside damson, cherry and truffle notes. 2006 was a firm, structured vintage on the Right Bank, and this wine should show dense black fruit, dark spices, dried herbs and a long, mineral finish. Still youthful and built for the long haul, it rewards further patience or give it some air if drinking now.

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.
