Description
Since its foundation by Henri Greloud in 1872, Chateau Lafleur has been owned, managed, and most importantly, farmed by five successive generations of the same family. The Guinaudeau family are the real deal when it comes to vine growing. Fashions do not hold any weight here. It is all about the vines, the soils and the individuals who craft these wines of purity and balance.
Château Lafleur is a 4.5 hectare property located on the northern crest of the plateau of Pomerol directly adjacent to Château Petrus and contiguous to Petrus, Le Gay, Vieux Château Certan and Hosanna.
Tasting Notes
“Apple, pineapple, mango, apricot, pear, blossom, clean and flinty aromas. Fresh and bright, forward, well built – so energetic and vibrant but controlled, not too much acidity or sharpness. Great aromatic complexity as well as a comforting juiciness with depth as well as vibrancy with saline, ginger, lemon balm and pineapple flavours. Finishes so long with bitter orange and lemon, but also a cool chalkiness that lingers. Just fantastic.”[96/100 points, Georgina Hindle, April 2023, decanter.com]
