Poised rather than powerful, the 2024 Château Lafleur shimmers with redcurrant, black raspberry and cassis layered over florals, spice and a faint graphite edge, feeling almost Left Bank in its restraint and precision. Medium-bodied but intensely focused, it glides on ultra-fine tannins and bright, creamy acidity, gaining nuance with air and finishing long, perfumed and quietly profound—a vintage that recalls old-school Lafleur in its elegance rather than sheer density.

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.
