Chateau Lafleur is a small 4.5-hectare Pomerol property located opposite Petrus and producing wines of comparable quality.
Lafleur is owned and run by Sylvie and Jacques Guinadeau. Its vineyards are situated on the gravel-rich Pomerol plateau and adjoin those of La Fleur-Petrus. The soils here are particularly deep and are enriched by deposits of potassium and iron. Only natural fertilisers are used and yields are painfully low, even by Pomerol standards.
Lafleur's wine is typically a blend of Merlot (50%) and Cabernet Franc (50%). It is aged in small oak barrels (50% new) for 18 months.
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 fruit, minerals, tobacco spices and creamy liquorice on the palate.
The best vintages can last for up to 50 years.
