Description
Lafleur Pomerol 2017 is one of Bordeaux’s most sought-after expressions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, offering remarkable depth, precision, and rarity in a single bottle. Produced in tiny quantities from one of Pomerol’s most revered estates, it is a wine with serious pedigree and a reputation built on uncompromising quality.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, it typically shows a deep, concentrated ruby color with impressive intensity. The nose is layered and refined, opening with dark plum, black cherry, violet, graphite, and subtle spice, while the palate is powerful yet beautifully controlled, combining rich fruit, firm structure, fresh mineral energy, and finely woven tannins.
This is a wine with exceptional aging potential, and the 2017 vintage should evolve gracefully over many years. With time, the fruit will soften and make way for more complex notes of truffle, tobacco, cedar, and earth, rewarding patience from collectors.
Production
Lafleur is rooted in Pomerol’s prized gravelly and clay-rich soils, where the balance of drainage, warmth, and mineral expression helps produce wines of striking concentration and finesse. The estate is known for meticulous vineyard management and very selective harvesting, ensuring only the best fruit makes it into the final blend. Vinification is carried out with a focus on precision and preserving the natural character of the fruit and terroir.
Food & Serving
Best enjoyed with dishes that can match its depth and structure, such as roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, game, or truffle-based preparations. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for a few hours if opening young, though careful decanting is recommended to preserve its aromatic detail and elegance.
