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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 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.\n\nThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLafleur 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.
