Decanter, March 2022

Fresh berries, plums, damsons, sloes, a touch of spice and irises and peonies. But that’s just the start. For as this gathers in the air, breathes, relaxes and then exhales just a little it releases more floral notes...

This is crazy on the nose with crushed stones and violets really rising above the glass, together with iodine, seaweed and ink. Spellbinding. Full-bodied, yet so tight and reserved, with a fine cashmere-like texture and...

If tasting the 2019 Château Lafleur doesn't just blow you away, I'm not sure what will. A perfect wine, if such a thing exists, it offers such a complex, singular profile in its black raspberries, kirsch liqueur...

You know what they say, no guts, no glory. 2019 Lafleur is the wine of the vintage! It takes only one sniff and sip to recognize the greatness in this wine. The opaque, purple hue is your first clue as to the character of...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, April 2022

The 2019 Lafleur is an utterly profound young wine that unwinds in the glass with aromas of rose petals, raspberries and sweet spices mingled with notions of blood orange, violets and fresh tobacco that are hauntingly...

Rich and powerful on the nose, with layer upon layer of black and brambly fruits, fresh tobacco leaf. Really one to drink in, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, pencil lead, tobacco, flint, crushed earth, cigar box, inky and...

The Wine Independent, May 2023

(98 + points) Made from 53% Merlot and 47% Bouchet (Cabernet Franc), the 2019 Lafleur is deep garnet-purple in color. It slowly grows in the glass, emerging with scents of blueberry compote, prunes, and dark chocolate...

Vinous, September 2025

The 2019 Lafleur outperforms the 2018 in every facet—a brilliant wine. With a mélange of red and black fruit on the nose and hints of melted tar, this displays sensational delineation and focus, adopting an almost...

The 2019 Lafleur, a Bordeaux blend from the Pomerol region of Bordeaux, France, has captivated professional reviewers, earning several perfect scores. This wine is produced by Chateau Lafleur and is celebrated for its complexity and unparalleled structure.

Decanter describes the 2019 Lafleur as a "remarkable tasting experience," highlighting its dynamic structure and ethereal qualities, with notes of fresh berries, spice, and floral elements like irises and peonies. James Suckling is equally impressed, noting the wine's "spellbinding" nose with crushed stones and violets. He praises its "fine cashmere-like texture" and suggests it is a "reference point for the vintage."

Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate also awards it a perfect score, calling it an "utterly profound young wine" with layers of rose petals, raspberries, and sweet spices. The review emphasizes its multidimensional nature and intense finish. Jeb Dunnuck echoes this sentiment, describing it as "pure, sensationally rich, and at the same time elegant," with a complex profile including black raspberries, kirsch liqueur, and exotic flowers.

Vinous provides a slightly different perspective, rating the wine at 98 points but praising its "sensational delineation and focus," likening it to a Burgundy in its purity. Neal Martin notes the wine's mineral-driven palate and persistent finish, suggesting it could be broached now but would benefit from further aging.

Jane Anson highlights the wine's powerful nose and layers of black and brambly fruits, while Jeff Leve declares it the "wine of the vintage," noting its opaque purple hue and intense concentration.

Overall, the 2019 Lafleur is lauded for its depth, complexity, and potential for aging. It is recommended to allow this wine at least a decade to develop further, with some reviewers suggesting even longer for it to reach its full potential.
