Château La Fleur Morange
St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend
St. Émilion, Libournais, Bordeaux, France
2022 vintage ( sorry for the blurry photo). Grand Cru Classé since the 2012 classification. Contrary to common belief ( as this estate started out as a garage wine), this is not a blockbuster. Beautifully balanced, concentrated, intense, but also very fresh and mineral,with a wonderful purity of fruit. A fantastic wine that will need a few years to shine completely. This estate has a unique soil composition and very old vines: 2 hectares with 100 years old Merlot and 80 years old Cabernet Franc vines. Also tasted the 2014 ( score 9.5) and the 2023 and 2024 from the barrel. Good to know that the 2024 is outstanding here!

Full-bodied and flamboyant; a big, modern-styled Saint Emilion. Wet earth, charred oak, blueberrypie, plums, grilled bellpepper, vanillapods and graphite. Lovely acidity, medium finish.
To drink now and in the next 5 years.

Mild nose of black fruits but bracing tannins that interfere with the flavor. Some earth and tar on the nose. Unbalanced and overall not a pleasant experience.

Wow, super sexy Napa style wine from Bordeaux. Very young, fresh, fruity and silky. You don’t notice 15% alcohol🙊

May 7th, 2017Not the best vintage for this rising star... While slightly drying at the end, this has good purity of black fruit and a nice balance.
