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.

Vintage 1983

Bordeaux / If 1981 was forgotten after 1982, the 1983 was completely overshadowed by 1982, although the harvest was large and of high quality everywhere in Bordeaux. Too much humidity brought about by heavy rains impeded production in many places. In Margaux, some of the wines were even better than in 1982. For example, Château Margaux announced that their 1983 surpassed the 1982. One of the best-ever Palmers was Palmer 1983.

Written Notes

“Whoa! This is definitely the best Zinfandel that Château Lafleur ever made...I swear that this wine was a dead ringer for a hedonistic Cali Zin! I would have definitely pegged it as Zinfandel if served to me blind - no question. Ripe, ripe, ripe...still tannins hiding behind its superripe flavors and a touch of citrus on the palate...a Cannelloni with Free Range Chicken braised in pomerol-reduction sauce accompanied this flight.”(93pts JK)
