Château Lafleur Du Roy

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. — 20 days ago

@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!!

@Doug Powers I very much doubt that Lafleur or any other Bordeaux or Burgundy would be cheaper in Australia than the USA. Only Australian wines would be cheaper here than in the USA I would imagine.

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Great fruit even at this age. The only issue I had besides the slight bell pepper is how rough the tannins were and the coconut on the nose. American oak? Not something i’d think Roy would use. — 3 months ago

Château Fortia

Edmée le Roy Châteauneuf-du-Pape White Rhone Blend 2023

A fresh tasting White blend from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Still very young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Light to medium in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing lemons, green apples, white flowers, grapefruits, bitter herbs, earth, spices and white pepper.

Tangy finish with limes and almonds.

Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years and see how it evolves.

A blend of 60% Roussanne, 30% Clairette and 10% Grenache Blanc.

14% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$40.

Pensées de Lafleur

Pomerol 2001

Dark rubi robe with no signs of its age. A very complex and profound nose of dark cherries, flowers, blackcurrant and anise. In the mouth its ethereal and elegant, ready and will last some time still. Excellent second wine Lafleur, the greatest Pomerol there is. — a month ago
