Intensity comes in a satin glove with Chateau Lafleur 2022, pouring out layers of dark berries, cassis and blue fruits threaded with floral perfume, orange peel, cocoa, graphite and a gentle smokiness. On the palate it feels both powerful and almost weightless, driven by perfectly ripe Cabernet Franc and ultra-fine tannins that give this tightly coiled, deeply complete wine the frame to age for decades.

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.
