Château Lafleur
Celebrated as the “Jewel of Pomerol”, Château Lafleur is an 11-acre vineyard across from Petrus, producing wines of equivalent quality. The property is evenly planted of Merlot and Cabernet Franc producing wines of minerality, elegance, opulence and exotic dark fruits. Arguably the most individualistic Bordelais wine around, Lafleur has been awarded The Wine Advocate 100 points on their 1945, 1947, 1950, 1975, 1982, 2000, 2009, and 2010 vintages. Robert Parker commented that they are one of the most distinctive, most exotic, and greatest wines, not only in Pomerol, but in the world.
