When to drink this wine : 2024 - 2054

Tasted by Lisa Perrotti-Brown in 2018: "The 2015 Lafleur is a blend of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple in colour, it is deeply perfumed with plum jam, chocolate-covered cherries and blueberry tart, with hints of black olives, lavender, unsmoked cigars and cast-iron stove, as well as a hint of Indian spice. The rich, medium to full-bodied palate is packed with layers of fragrant earth, black fruits and exotic spices, underpinned by perfectly ripe, wonderfully velvety tannins and seamless freshness. The breathtakingly long finish offers a superior sum to the many fascinating characters on the nose and palate, and promises a myriad of provocative finishes to be discovered throughout this wine's future. This exquisite masterpiece is not to be missed."

What connoisseur of Pomerol wines would fail to savor a Château Lafleur?

Although this estate is appreciated by experts, it does not enjoy the same reputation as Château Le Pin or Pétrus. Is this due to its small vineyard area (4.5 hectares)? Probably, but ignoring Château Lafleur due to its modest size would be regrettable given the exceptional quality of this Pomerol wine.

How to serve and enjoy it?

This exceptional nectar deserves to be presented with all the attention it deserves. To start, make sure to serve Château Lafleur at the ideal temperature, around 16 to 18 degrees Celsius, to fully release its captivating aromas.

Once uncorked, this pearl of Pomerol reveals a rich and complex sensory palette. On the nose, you will be enveloped by captivating scents of ripe black fruits, elegant flowers and subtle woody notes. On the palate, the experience continues with a velvety texture and deep flavors of black cherries, truffles, and a subtle touch of tobacco. The tannins are silky, offering a perfectly balanced structure and a long, lingering finish. It is made mainly from the Merlot and Cabernet Franc grape varieties, thus bringing their distinctive character to this exceptional wine. This harmonious combination gives the wine its incomparable complexity and elegance, placing it among the greatest Pomerol wines.
