Despite the tricky year, 2007 Château Lafleur delivers a refined, quietly powerful Pomerol, with cool blueberry and black cherry fruit edged by earth, iron, and gentle spice. The texture is silky yet structured, with fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity, and a lingering finish scented with smoke, dried flowers, and a touch of game that speaks to its Cabernet Franc core and evolving maturity.

Château Lafleur by Château Lafleur is one of Pomerol’s most coveted and rare reds, a tiny 4–4.5 ha “boutique” grand vin planted in an unusually equal mix of Merlot and Cabernet Franc (Bouchet) on a complex mosaic of clay- and gravel-based soils opposite Château Pétrus. This distinctive cépage and low-yield, rigorously traditional viticulture yield a powerful yet refined wine of great minerality, floral lift, and longevity, often described as among Bordeaux’s most individualistic and ageworthy wines.
