Vinous
(a 59/41 blend of merlot and cabernet franc; the property's second wine, made from a hectare of young vines as well as the more humid soils, was introduced with the 1987 vintage) Bright red-ruby. Sexy aromas of inky cherry, minerals, violet and meat. Not especially dense but supple, meaty and sweet, with notes of blackberry and licorice.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2007

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.
