Château Lafleur-Gazin - Pomerol - Red - 2016 :

 

Château Lafleur-Gazin: An Elegant Expression of Right Bank Bordeaux

Château Lafleur-Gazin is a classic Pomerol, situated amongst esteemed neighbours on the northern plateau and managed by the highly respected Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix. This estate is celebrated for producing a delightful, Merlot-centric wine that is eminently approachable, offering both immediate pleasure and satisfying complexity.

Tasting Notes: A Fleshy and Supple Pomerol

The unique blend of gravel, clay, and silt soils ensures the Merlot achieves optimal ripeness and an elegant profile, resulting in a wine that is plush and beautifully balanced.

• Appearance: A lovely, deep claret colour.
• Aroma: Rich and inviting, with dominant black fruit aromas (plums and black cherries) complemented by notes of cocoa, vanilla, and a classic earthy, truffley undertone typical of Pomerol.
• Taste: Exhibits a medium-to-full body with a fleshy texture. The tannins are round and soft, providing structure without harshness. The finish is long, smooth, and savoury, a true testament to the Right Bank style.

Serving & Accords

This wine should be served slightly cooler than room temperature, around 16°C. Decanting for an hour will enhance its nuanced aromas.

• Perfect Pairings: A superb match for traditional British game and Sunday roasts.
• Drink Window: Enjoy now with decanting, or cellar for further development.
