Chateau Lafleur 2018: Profound & Rare Right Bank Masterpiece

Château Lafleur 2018 is a benchmark wine from one of Bordeaux’s most revered and elusive estates, located in the heart of Pomerol on the Right Bank. Produced in extremely limited quantities, Lafleur is famed for its singular terroir—a gravel-clay mix that imparts both power and finesse. Crafted from an almost equal blend of Merlot and Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), the 2018 vintage is a monumental expression of density, energy, and grace, widely acclaimed by critics as one of the greatest vintages in the estate’s modern history.

The bouquet is intensely aromatic, with layers of black cherry, plum, and raspberry entwined with floral notes of iris and rose, graphite, crushed stones, and hints of cigar box. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, delivering waves of dark fruit, savory herbs, and earthy minerality. Fine-grained tannins and a vibrant line of acidity lead into a long, resonant finish that speaks to its exceptional aging potential.

Château Lafleur 2018 is best enjoyed with refined pairings such as roast squab, duck confit, wild mushroom risotto, or aged truffle cheese, allowing the wine’s depth and nuance to fully shine.
