Tasting notes
The 2019 Château Lafleur-Gazin showed nicely, with an elegant, seamless, classy style as well as textbook Pomerol notes of ripe red and black fruits, tobacco leaf, damp earth, and a hint of chocolate. Playing in the more elegant, seamless side of the spectrum, it still has solid mid-palate depth and outstanding length. It will drink nicely for at least 15 years.

Aromas of rich berry fruit, cassis, vanilla pod and pencil shavings introduce the 2019 Lafleur-Gazin, a medium to full-bodied, ample wine with a ripe core of fruit and youthfully chewy structuring tannins. This is a hearty, rather rustic Pomerol that will work well at table.
The 2019 Lafleur-Gazin has become more refined and focused on the nose of ample black cherry, raspberry and plummy fruit, touches of pressed violets and rose petals percolating through with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, fresh acidity, a slightly lactic texture and veins of dark chocolate complementing the finish. This will need time in bottle, but it should end up a fine Pomerol.
