Produkt
Château Lafleur ist ein kleines Anwesen gegenüber von Pétrus. Die tiefgründigen, kiesel- und eisenreichen Böden ermöglichen sehr niedrige Erträge auf den vier Hektar Weinbergen, auf denen die Assemblage (50% Merlot, 50% Cabernet Franc) entsteht. Der Ausbau findet in Fässern (50% neues Holz) statt und dauert 18 Monate. Château Lafleur bietet ein ausdrucksstarkes und spektakuläres aromatisches Profil, das ihn zu einem der grossen Weine von Bordeaux macht.

Wineadvocate

The 2006 Lafleur, which I had not tasted from bottle prior to this visit, merits 95 points. One of the vintate’s most brilliant wines, this blend of 61% Merlot and 39% Cabernet Franc is neither as dense nor complete as the 2008, but it is structured, closed, and austere (as are many 2006s at present). It reveals a plum/purple color along with a beautifully sweet nose of black and red fruits intermixed with incense as well as a steely/iron-like smell. More open on the palate than the 2008, with more obvious spice and earthy undertones, this powerful Lafleur should be drinkable in 5-7 years, and will last for three decades.

Vinous

Good full, deep red. Brooding aromas of black cherry, cherry pit and licorice, plus a note that reminded me of a liqueur of flowers. Sweet, chewy and very ripe, but with restraint and focus to the youthful, mineral-driven flavors of dark fruits, licorice and pepper. This shows the cooler, medicinal cast of a classic young Lafleur and although almost surprisingly silky now, this really calls for extended cellaring. - ST 05/2009
