Pomerol, Libournais

Château Lafleur

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2004

A rich crimson in colour. Initially a note of Animale (Barb thought a brief note of cow yard) amongst the dusty cherry, dark fruits, violets and mushroom notes. Great balance between the 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Franc. Medium bodied with smooth supple tannins. The next day: Elegance with length - shows the quality of the fruit IMO. My first Lafleur, I think, and it was excellent as expected. — 12 hours ago

@Tom Casagrande, I still remember when my local wine shop in Brooklyn Heights in the 1980s had 1979, 1983 and 1985 Lafleur on the shelf for $30-35 per bottle — not huge quantities, but that was early (and, alas, last) exposure to the greatness of Lafleur. Oh well, maybe in my next life. . . . 🤷🤔

@Tom Casagrande @Doug Powers I doubt I will buy another bottle. The asking price has become prohibitive.

@Bob McDonald@Tom Casagrande and I could probably fly to and from Australia to share 2 or 3 bottles of Lafleur with you, it’d be cheaper than us each buying bottles here in the U.S. — LOL!!

Typical Pomerol nose of violets and blueberries and raspberries.
In the mouth nice structure, not overly extracted. Nice and elegant.

Château de Sales

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2021

2021 vintage. Big earth evident throughout the performance. Light-medium body. If you prefer a leaner style, this just might be your jam. 04.09.25. — a month ago

Château L'Eglise-Clinet

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2024

Seriously good stuff here. Soo deep and complex. Rocky firm tannins but with a velvety touch all the way thru.
Absolutely beautiful aftertaste where all the feminine touch of Pomerol turns out superbly. Very, very good wine.

Freschezza floreale e struttura. Finale di tensione con note di genziana e rabarbaro in chiusura.
As always, a wine with exceptional personality.

Château La Fleur-Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend

We found the wine is no longer what it used to be. Very modern vinification and upbringing, lots of new wood, and likely a malolactic in barrel. Well done but nothing like in the Jean-Claude Berrouet days. — 24 days ago

C’est la fête de la fraîcheur !
Nice tension and balance.
Gentle soaking extraction.
Little uneven ripeness feel on the mouth.
But overall nicely integrated.
May turn really lovely with time.
