Score 89-91/100 · Drink 2027-2040, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2026

The 2025 Les Pensées de Lafleur is laced with cool blue/purplish fruit, rose petal and lavender. Medium in body and pliant, with good depth, the 2025 is attractive, but it lacks energy and excitement. It also feels rather light, especially on the mid-palate.

Score 94-96/100 · William Kelley, Wine Advocate, Apr 2026

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, licorice and truffle, framed by a deft touch of oak, the 2025 Pensées de Lafleur is medium- to full-bodied, rich and velvety, with an enveloping core of fruit, bright acids and a rather muscular, broad-shouldered profile. Impressive but distinctly serious, this is a structured Pensées that will reward patience.
