CRITIC REVIEWS
Neal Martin
Tasted with Jacques Guinaudeau at the property, the 2001 remains an exceptionally fine Lafleur. It is very similar to the bottle tasted blind just three months before with crushed stone inflecting the vibrant black fruits, not a powerful bouquet but one of great clarity and mineralite. The palate is beautifully balanced with racy acidity, tensile tannins and a satin-like texture towards the finish. This has immense potential. Tasted June 2011.
Jancis Robinson
59% Merlot, 41% Cabernet Franc – a great, late vintage, picked in October. Cool nights. Very classic. Deep shaded ruby. Mature rim. Great depth and poise. Lovely fragrance, balance and quite evolved. Pure aristocratic Pomerol. Rich start, minerally middle and long finish. Neat and fresh. Not opulent, and more Cabernet Franc than Merlot on the nose, but a subtle velvety thing. Build-up on the finish is not a shattering crescendo.
