Château Lafleur: Pomerol's Hidden Masterpiece
A discreet estate with worldwide prestige
Nestled in the heart of the Pomerol appellation, Château Lafleur is one of Bordeaux’s most exclusive and revered estates. Founded in 1872 by Henri Greloud, this 4.5-hectare vineyard has built its legacy on precision, tradition, and an uncompromising approach to winemaking, passed down through generations.
The vineyard's soils are among its greatest assets. A rare patchwork of sandy-clay gravel, clay-rich gravel, and gravelly sand provides a unique foundation, allowing for remarkable depth and complexity in each wine. This terroir diversity is seldom seen in Pomerol, making Lafleur’s expression distinctive and profound.
Unlike most Pomerol estates dominated by Merlot, Lafleur balances its vines equally between Merlot and Bouchet (the local name for Cabernet Franc). This bold choice results in wines that are simultaneously structured, floral, fresh, and expressive — delivering layered aromatics and great longevity.
Lafleur’s winemaking philosophy is built on rigor and tradition. Manual harvesting, meticulous sorting, fermentation in concrete and stainless steel tanks, and 18-20 months of ageing in French oak barrels ensure every vintage is a precise reflection of the vineyard and the vintage. The wines are long-lived, elegant, and complex.
Legendary vintages such as 1982, 1998, 2005, and 2010 stand as benchmarks of excellence. These wines have aged gracefully, gaining complexity over time while retaining the power and refinement that define Lafleur’s style.
A rare, collectible wine of remarkable identity
Beyond the Grand Vin, the estate produces Les Pensées de Lafleur, a second wine that captures the elegance of Lafleur with a more approachable profile. Additionally, Château Grand-Village red and white wines — crafted on the Mouillac terroirs — and the luminous Les Champs Libres white blend further showcase the estate’s mastery.
Château Lafleur remains one of the most coveted labels in fine wine. Limited in production and unmatched in identity, each bottle is a sought-after treasure for collectors and connoisseurs. Its rare blend of power and finesse makes it a timeless addition to any cellar.
With a strong capacity for ageing and a nuanced, evolving character, Château Lafleur offers a wine experience that transcends trends. Explore its iconic vintages now on 12bouteilles and discover the soul of Pomerol.
