Description

2022 Les Perrières de Lafleur, Pomerol, BordeauxChteau Lafleur is a tiny Pomerol estate, located just opposite the iconic Petrus, and producing wines of comparable quality. Soils here are particularly deep and rich in minerals, which translate through to intense, complex flavors in the wines. Les Perrires de Lafleur made its debut in 2014, as a new addition to the range. While still rich in the dark fruits and wonderful structure that are hallmarks of the state, it is more approachable in its youth

but there is a sense of restraint here

By his own admission

a passion now carried on by his son Arnaud and daughter Clémence

It is so dense that it’s almost stern

there’s lots of joy here

this is a juicy gem far better than in 2005

It feels as if it has a Côte de Nuits touch about it

Give it a couple of years at least in the cellar if you can resist

carried on waves of honey and balanced by judicious hints of oak

The nose is assertive

A brilliant wine
