The Story

Between the estates of Pétrus and La Fleur-Pétrus, amid vineyards, stands a stone house with closed shutters. The road that winds to the house between the vine rows has no signs or indications as to the name of the place. The construction looks more like a maintenance shed for the neighbouring estates than the main building of a winery. However, this is a house that makes one of the most desirable wines in Bordeaux: Château Lafleur.

Vuosikerta 1966

1966 was an exceptional year in Bordeaux for very classic and delicate wines. However, the year started off as anything but promising. The main rainfall that began in late June continued into July, but the hot start to August dried out the soil and the weather gradually improved towards autumn, until it is almost perfect for harvest.

These wines share a truly classic, graceful and high quality character so typical of Bordeaux wines, making ...

Absolutely fine-looking magnum with by the neck level. Decanted 1.5 hours. Wonderful deep, rich colour. Very spirited. Sound and open, very fragrant and complex nose. Magic. I am more and more convinced that this one of the finest wines of the vintage, if not the utmost? Very rich and velvety texture with good acid and discreet tannin level. Great balance and extract. Superb wine with astonishingly long and graceful ending. No rush to drink this divine bottle.

The 1966 Lafleur is a magnificent Pomerol. From magnum, it has a beguiling bouquet that just feels so effortless, wonderfully detailed and natural with hints of coniferous trees and ground pebbles. It is a quintessential Robin-era Lafleur. The palate is also so complete and natural, a rare case of a "blue-blooded" Lafleur that has an evolved Left Bank personality. It is so stunning that I wonder if I was just lucky to encounter this example. Would another bottle match up? Somehow, I doubt it. Tasted at the Attersee vertical and taken from the "Pomerol" book.

Lafleur 1966 / 96 points /Darkly coloured, fine nose and of high complexity--berry fruit aroma, smoke, leather spices and a touch of oak. First impression is that this wine attacks frankly in the mouth but reveals to be elegant, very tight tannins, fine ripened fruits. Luxurious texture. A long aftertaste
