Producer
Château Lafleur
Consisting of a mere 4.5-hectares of vines, with more than half, surprisingly planted to Cabernet Franc, Château Lafleur may be one of the smaller Pomerol properties, but that does not change that is certainly one of the finest. Located on the gravel-rich Pomerol Plateau, neighboring the phenomenal châteaux, Pétrus and La Fleur-Pétrus, Lafleur regularly produces comparable high-quality wines. Since its creation in 1872, Château Lafleur has stayed in the same kin-line, today, the fifth generation is represented by the Guinaudeau family, that took over estate in the mid-1980s. This single-vineyard grower-producer, due to its rather large proportion of Cabernet Franc, creates considerably structured wines that have the ability to age gracefully for two decades or more. Lafleur is their consistently impressive Grand Vin that shows the house’s signature concentrated layers of dark fruits, minerals, and liquorice, complimented by the wines overall rich opulence.
