Tasting notes

The 2023 Lafleur-Gazin is a succulent, juicy Pomerol backed by notable textural depth and resonance. Ripe, red-toned fruit and exotic floral notes give the Lafleur-Gazin its distinctive, forward profile. Readers will find a Pomerol with tons of immediate appeal and pure charm. I expect the 2023 will drink well right out of the gate.

A solid and structured Pomerol with blackberry, black olive and light brown-sugar character. Hint of smoked wood, too. It’s medium- to full-bodied with very integrated, slightly muscular tannins and a persistent finish. 100% merlot.

The Mouiex firm acquired this estate in 2021 (after cultivating it in "fermage" since 1974) and sold off the less optimally situated parcels lying on sandy soils. The 2023 Lafleur-Gazin offers up aromas of dark berries, cherries, baked plums and mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and layered palate that's quite deep and extracted, perhaps reflecting an understandable ambition to signal new seriousness at this address. It's 100% Merlot.
