The 2004 Les Pensees de Lafleur, made from the estate’s youngest vines, offers sweet, forward cherry fruit in an open-knit style. It represents about one-third of the production, and should drink well for 10-15 years. Wine Advocate.June, 2007

Silky and fruity, with berry, plum and mineral character. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long, caressing finish. Well done for the second wine of Lafleur. James Suckling, 2005

About The Producer

The producer

Château Lafleur

In the small commune of Pomerol, Château Lafleur stands out for the extraordinary quality of the wine it produces. A wine that invokes emotion, Lafleur has been endlessly praised by critics and wine lovers all over the world, with Robert Parker calling it one of his “all-time favorite Bordeaux wines”. Château Lafleur has been owned by a single family since 1872, when the great-great-grandfather of the current proprietor bought the estate, and the husband-and-wife team of Jacques and Sylvie Guinaudeau are now aided by their son Baptiste, showing how this estate has been and continues to be, very much a family affair.

Pomerol: Small but Beautiful

Bordeaux: the foundation of any cellar. The greatest, and most famous wine producing region in the world. The heart of fine wine production. These are all arguable. And, conveniently, there is rather a lot of it. The average left bank chateau will have an annual production of up to 20,000 cases per year, and barrel cellars the size of football ...

Pomerol: A Tale of Two Vintages

We report from a visit by Pomerol Séduction, an organisation promoting eight top wines from the iconic Right Bank appellation in Bordeaux. On the tasting table were Bordeaux 2012s and 2015s - two very different vintages that both have stories to tell.

A Pomerol Evening with Neal Martin

On Wednesday night we were privileged to have the company of Neal Martin at a small dinner in the private room of the brilliant Chez Bruce. The theme was, of course, Pomerol and Neal’s recently published book on the region. Wine and food first. The aim of the wine selection was to be eclectic rather than simply aiming for the ...
