Energy and depth define Chateau Lafleur 2019, a Pomerol of riveting purity where black raspberry, cherry and blueberry fruit are etched with notes of spice, graphite and tobacco. The palate is both powerful and silky, with crystalline focus, tightly knit yet ultra-fine tannins and a finish that seems to pulse with intensity and length, promising immense complexity with time. This vintage stands out for its combination of density and weightless grace, built for decades of evolution.

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.
