2022 Chateau Lafleur, Pomerol, France
$1,175.00
Since its foundation by Henri Greloud in 1872, Chateau Lafleur has been owned, managed, and most importantly, farmed by five successive generations of the same family. The Guinaudeau family are the real deal when it comes to vine growing. Fashions do not hold any weight here. It is all about the vines, the soils and the individuals who craft these wines of purity and balance.
53% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Franc planted on 4.5 hectares plot of gravel-rich clay and limestone. Vinified in concrete and finishes malolactic fermentation in barrels. Generally 25% new oak with the remainder of the used barrels come from the sister estate, Grand Village.
