The 1989 Lafleur, tasted side by side with the 1990 on two occasions in 2002, plays it closer to the vest. The wine needs far more coaxing to produce the licorice, black cherry liqueur, earth, and truffle notes from the nose. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, tannic, backward, and very tightly knit, with mouth-searing levels of tannin and extremely high extract. The tannins are firmer, the fruit seemingly less sweet, but still extremely r...

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.

Wine Information

1989 Château Lafleur (Pomerol)
For many people Lafleur is the only wine in Pomerol that has both the excellence and capability of Château Petrus. There are only four and a half hectares of vines, planted in 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc, which are an average of 35 years of age.

Vuosikerta 1989

The 1989 vintage in Bordeaux is widely regarded as a watershed moment in winemaking history—a warm, early, and extraordinarily sun-drenched campaign that delivered deeply ripe, luxurious, and iconic wines across both the Left and Right Banks.

Coming off an exceptionally dry winter, the 1989 growing season brought record-breaking warmth starting in May. Budburst, flowering, and veraison all occurred weeks ahead of schedule. Uninterrupted hea...

I have always loved the 1989 Lafleur, which struck me like the modern day ’61 but even stronger.  This is an undervalued wine in the marketplace.  There was lots of oil and alcohol, enough for a Russian bachelor party lol.   There was a flash of jam in this monster wine.  Intense, super stuff (98).

This is a sexy Lafleur that is closer to Le Pin on the nose than any other vintage I have experienced. The palate though is very different – Lafleur has great minerality and depth with a solid earthy, dark berry and savory herb-dominated core. The aroma is simply gorgeous and the palate is incredibly persistent. A wonderful bottle, better than previous bottles of this wine tasted in the past.

 Perhaps, I am short-changing this wine, or at least this bottle, as it could deserve 100 Pts. This is simply majestic. The incredible wealth of cherries, plums, truffles, dried flowers, dried red pit fruits, thyme, and chocolate is almost overwhelming. The palate is intense, full-bodied, powerful, vibrant, and energetic, the fruits are perfect as is just about everything about this wine. Drink from 2023-2040.

Truly a remarkable wine, and Neal’s comment of “quintessence of Pomerol” really was apt. Liqueur like aromas of redcurrant, plums, mint, coconut, chocolate and earth waft from the glass. It opens with such a vibrant freshness, trumpets blasting (something as rare as it is beguiling for Lafleur), exotic cherry flavors, intense, silkily textured, particularly at the mid palate. You then get ceps, black pepper, the beautifully cushioning tannins become more evident along with the alluring complexity. It fans out in multidimensional flavors on the sweet, racy, ravishing, flamboyant yet focused, poised, bravura and bewitching finish. 98 Points+

Tasted in September 2012. Very intense and robust. Loads of superbly ripe fruit, kirsch liqueur, truffles and great depth on the palate. Wonderful structure and length. Exceptional wine.
