Heiner Lobenberg über:
Chateau Lafleur 2018

100
/100

Lobenberg: Lafleur ist wahrscheinlich der schwierigst auffindbare Wein in Bordeaux. Zu Recht Kult, die Eleganz pur und eine Symbiose aus Petrus und Le Pin. 100/100

Galloni über: Chateau Lafleur

-- Galloni: The 2018 Lafleur is mesmerizing. What a wine! The aromatics alone are spellbinding. There is no need to actually taste the 2018 to know how profound it is. Silky and caressing, with phenomenal persistence, the 2018 is a total knock-out. Spice, cedar, blood orange, sage, mint, rose petal and kirsch all race out of the glass, saturating the palate with a dazzling concoction of aromas, textures and flavors. Readers lucky enough to find it should not hesitate. 100/100

Suckling über: Chateau Lafleur

-- Suckling: The sweetness of fruit in the center palate is incredible with a ripe-plum and currant undertone. Very aromatic already. Full-bodied, tight and compressed with a tannin quality that folds beautifully into the wine. Incredible finish. Such, such power with finesse. Tight but glorious at this stage. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Chateau Lafleur

-- Jeb Dunnuck: The Grand Vin 2018 Château Lafleur from this magical terroir checks in as 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot that comes only from the more gravelly soils of the vineyard and spent 15 months in 25% new French oak. It's as good as any wine can get and has a layered, multi-dimensional style that marries power with elegance as only this estate can do. Offering notes of black raspberries, tobacco, truffly earth, spring flowers, and chocolate, it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, but nevertheless is as weightless as they come, offering this 'je ne sais quoi' character that's hard to describe. It's more backward and reserved than the Pensées and is going to take a decade of bottle age to hit maturity, but it's a desert Island wine if there ever was one. 100/100

Falstaff über: Chateau Lafleur

-- Falstaff: Tiefdunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Mineralisch unterlegte Nuancen von Herzkirschen, dezente Kräuterwürze, zarte florale Noten, etwas Nougat und Edelholz, facettenreiches Bukett. Straff, engmaschig, dunkelbeerig und extraktsüß, perfekt ausgereifte, schwebende Tannine, finessenreiche Struktur, kernig im Abgang, salziger Touch im Nachhall, ungemein vielschichtig und sehr lange anhaftend. 100/100

Mein Winzer

Chateau Lafleur

Das legendäre Chateau Lafleur besitzt nur 4,5 Hektar Rebflächen, diese allerdings auf tiefem Kiesgrund, der mit Eisen und Sand durchzogen ist. Der Rebbestand ist sehr alt, weil Lafleur beim Frost von 1956 verschont blieb und nicht komplett neu bepflanzt werden musste.
