Really good Lalande de Pomerol from the Guinaudeau family. Its now called Les Perrieres de Lafleur, an allusion to the fact the vines are from Lafleur’s “selection massale”. Nose of floral notes, very precise sculpted mouth of dark berries and “rose fannee”, great acidity and balance, ends on tobacco notes. Its very accessible now but lors of potential to age. Great bottle and the quality price ratio is hard to beat ! — 6 years ago

@Martin G Rivard take a bow. This is another awesome gift from my besty. A 6L to boot. Jen and James are celebrating their house-warming in NJ. I now have some little helpers in the area!
The wine was PERFECT. Nice cherry compote nose. Soft oak treatment, with touches of vanilla. Deftly balanced on the palate. Tannins are not quite resolved. Acid provides a nice lift. Such a linear expression of Bdx. Too large a format to consume on our own, hence my daughter and her husband benefited from Martin’s generosity. Cannot thank you enuf, bud! — 7 years ago

The Guinaudeau family has started this wine few years ago. Young vines that came from Chateau Lafleur. As a matter of fact in 2018 its called “Les Perrerieres de Lafleur”. Great blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Dark rubi robe, dark berries nose, very polished tannins on a medium length medium body wine with good acidity and support to the fruit concentration. Hold for 4 to 5 years. One of the best new wines we have tried in a while. Highly recommended ! — 6 years ago

The 2006 Lafleur is a vintage that I have not encountered for a little while. It is similar to how it tasted at a decade old with wild strawberry, blackberry and hints of cooked meat on the nose, still pretty backward and needing time to meld fully. The palate is medium-bodied with still a slightly coarse entry that I don't think would be accepted by Baptiste Guinaudeau today, slightly tarry toward a dense and somewhat muscular finish. Maybe it's just missing Lafleur's usual charm? Yet it's still an impressive Pomerol that requires more cellaring. Tasted at 67 Pall Mall for The Complete Bordeaux Vintage Guide dinner.

Ample aroma. Aged black currant, black fruits flavor. A bit dry. Mid +, at least one hour, two hours decanting might be better. @4500, Enoteca - KH, 181229-190101 — 7 years ago
