Tasting Notes

96
Inside Bordeaux Jane Anson - 26 Mar 24
Takes its time, holds itself back, then hugs the palate, keeps its grip on your taste buds. Liqourice, iris, tobacco, violet, cassis and spiced plum, with traces of white pepper, tomato leaf and a curl of gunsmoke, full of sculpted tannins. This will take a few years reach its peak, as it runs against the usual feel of the vintage. Harvest September 17 to October 2. No chaptilisation. 12 nights of frost risk in 2021 but they successfully battled it and it is fairly similar to a normal year in terms of yield.
Drinking Date: 2028 - 2041

Vinous Neal Martin - 02 Sep 25
The 2021 Lafleur reflects a cooler growing season and is a patently more classical Pomerol. But it is fresh and vibrant on the nose, open with enticing oyster shell scents entwined with black fruit. The palate is comparatively lighter in style with tensile, saline tannins that are gritty in texture. It does not possess the substance and grandeur of a great Lafleur, but it will drink earlier than others and deliver all the freshness and vitality you could wish for. Tasted from ex-château magnum at Kate & Kon's 40-Year vertical in Austria.
Drinking Date: 2030 - 2060

The Wine Independent Lisa Perrotti-Brown - 23 Apr 24
A blend of 48% Merlot and 52% Cabernet Franc (Bouchet), the 2021 Lafleur has a deep garnet-purple color. After a swirl or two, the nose erupts with classic notes of fresh plums, boysenberries, and pencil shavings, leading to suggestions of tar, tilled soil, black truffles, and underbrush. Medium-bodied, the palate is built like a brick house, featuring a solid structure of firm, grainy tannins and great tension to support the muscular black fruits, finishing long and earthy.
Drinking Date: 2029 - 2059
Pomerol Fine Wine

Pomerol

Pomerol, a prestigious Bordeaux Right Bank appellation, is famous for luxurious, velvety red wines primarily based on Merlot, often blended with Cabernet Franc. These wines are rich and opulent, with soft tannins and flavours of ripe plum, blackberry, truffle, chocolate, and earthy undertones, featuring a silky texture and lingering finish. Top producers include Château Pétrus, known for its depth and ageing potential; Château Le Pin, celebrated for purity and finesse; and Château La Conseillante and Château Trotanoy, known for elegance and power.
