Château Lafleur-Gazin

Pomerol, Right Bank, Bordeaux, France

Eminently approachable, even in its youth, Lafleur-Gazin is a delightful expression of the lighter style of Pomerol wines. Situated on the northern edge of the plateau of Pomerol, nestled between Château Gazin and Château La Fleur-Pétrus, this wine has been produced by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix since 1976 for the Borderie family, owners since 1930.

The Merlot vines (averaging 30 years of age) are planted on gravel and clay. The Cabernet Franc is planted on silt soils, which encourage a nuanced andfull expression of this varietal’s character.

The vineyard management and vinification are carried out traditionally and with great care, producing a plump, supple, fleshy wine with ripe fruit and silky tannins.
