Chateau La Fleur De GayLa Fleur De Gay, Pomerol 2015
About this product
Château Lafleur is a tiny 4.5-hectare Pomerol property located opposite Pétrus and producing wines of comparable quality. Wines from Lafleur display a spectacularly intense perfume (partly attributable to the high percentage of Cabernet Franc in the blend) and display layers and layers of concentrated, black fruits, minerals, tobacco spices and creamy liquorice on the palate. The best vintages can last for up to 50 years.

Lots of delicious, smoky and ripe fruit character. Chocolate, too. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a decadent, rich finish. Gorgeous, young wine.

Medium deep colour. Expansive and expressive wine with intense mulberry, plum and star anise aromas and savoury biscuity oak nuances. Vigorous yet seamless with generous mulberry/plum fruits, a touch of praline and vanilla and hint of graphite. Tannins are lacy and dry. Inky, fruit pastille notes plume towards the end palate. Chalky al dente firm with a bitter chinotto kick at the finish. Understated yet gorgeous. 49% Cabernet Franc 51% Merlot.
