Chateau Lafleur-Gazin
4,5 hectares of vineyards grouped into a single body, a few hundred meters away from Château Petrus and located east of Pomerol. Divided, in the varieties planted, between 60% merlot and 40% cabernet franc, Château Lafleur has been managed for over a century by the Guinaudeau family, who initially rented the company, and then took it over as the sole owner in 2002. Between the rows the average age reaches forty years and, respecting the environment, the care is manic and aimed plant by plant.
From here the approximately 12 thousand bottles a year are born, which today are marketed directly by the property, without going through the speculations of retailers. Monumental wines that are born severe and austere, at times angular and hard, and begin to express themselves only from the first decade following the harvest, to then proceed towards an implacable crescendo that, over the years, pushes the labels of Château Lafleur straight straight into the Olympus of the great wines of the world. Unique bottles, characterized by a style resulting from history and prestigious terroir, not common to any other winemaking reality and that only Château Lafleur can boast.
