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.

Written Notes

Still quite youthful and with a less obvious nose than the Pensées de Lafleur 2008. Big and sweet on the palate. Great presence in the mouth and great concentration, but still very youthful and tight with masses of tannin on the finish still.

  • 93p

Deep purple hues and shades of garnet red are complemented by aromas of blueberry jam, violets, vanilla, and spice.  The palate is plush and velvety, with flavors of black cherry fruit and notes of blackberry jam, coffee, cocoa powder, plum, and smoke.

  • 96p

The 2008 Lafleur shows a slightly deeper color as well as more noticeable ripe raspberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with notions of licorice and incense. Again, there is no hint of herbaceousness or tannic astringency in this mid-weight, slightly overdone, but charming, pretty 2008 Consume it over the next 10-18 years.
