The Wine Advocate

"The 2018 Lafleur is a blend of 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the nose absolutely shuts down upon first pour. After a lot of air, it slowly unfurls to reveal alluring scents of fresh black cherries, ripe blackberries and redcurrant jelly, leading to suggestions of sandalwood, pencil shavings, lilacs and forest floor, with emerging, heady wafts of camphor, iron ore and Indian spices. The rich, full-bodied palate is equally slow to read, offering whispers and murmurs of earth and exotic spice-laced black fruits with glimpses at a fleeting floral undercurrent, framed by firm, finely grained tannins and beautifully knit freshness, finishing with an edifying perfume. This is liquid poetry, but I would touch it for 7-8 years, at least. Should you be around in 40 years' time, expect it to blow your mind."

"The 2018 Lafleur is a blend of 54% Cabernet Franc harvested on October 1 and 4, with 46% Merlot harvested September 12 and 15. Deep garnet-purple colored, it rocks up charged with energetic iron ore, crushed rocks and scorched earth notes over a core of blueberry compote, Morello cherries, black raspberries and stewed plums plus suggestions of violets, menthol and cardamom. Full-bodied, powerful, opulent and incredibly seductive, the palate is mind blowing with its through-the-roof velvety tannins and bright freshness supporting layer upon drop-dead gorgeous layer of fragrant black fruits, mineral notions and earth, finishing epically long and perfumed."

„This could be the wine of the vintage! Profound in every sense, the wine smells like you walked into a flower shop carrying a bushel of just picked red and black pit fruits and berries and your pockets were filled with an array of spices, herbs, cocoa, spearmint and thyme. If that didn't seal the deal, the breathtaking purity in the fruit along with the non-stop layers of sweet, vivacious red fruits with their silky, sexy, erotic textures will. The seamless finish does not seem to quit. The wine blends 54% Cabernet Franc with 46% Merlot.“

„Let's get this out of the way from the start: No risk, no fun. Right? This is the wine of the vintage! There, I said it. Now, let me explain why... On the palate, you encounter serious levels of weight and density. However, before you get there you're greeted with scintillating truffle, licorice, plum, cherry liqueur, smoke and earthy aromatics. Clearly the wine is powerful, fresh and exotic with its mélange of incredibly ripe, red and black cherry fruits. Voluptuous and mouth-filling, the wine covers your palate with fleshy plums that remain a presence for close to 60 seconds. The purity in the fruit is crazy good. There is no doubt this is one of the great vintages of Lafleur. Could it be the best ever? Time will tell -- lots of time as it will take at least 15 years before you should even consider popping a cork. Lafleur is never a wine to drink young; it takes time to show its essence. This very special wine was produced from a blend of 54% Cabernet Franc, 46% Merlot, reaching 14.5% with a pH of 3.65. The Merlot was harvested From September 12 to October 4.“

"Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez très aromatique, fin, subtil, complexe et profond. Cette dernière sensation s'amplifie à l'aération du verre. Le vin montre une touche solaire et en même temps parfumée, sans effet de chaleur. Noble. Moelleux en entrée de bouche, extrêmement aromatique au milieu, complexe au toucher, avec un très bel éclat fruité, la finale de ce vin merveilleux fond au palais, lentement, longtemps, en se mêlant à la salive. C'est superbe ! Et déjà bien meilleur que l'année dernière."

"Ma meilleure note donnée à ce cru en primeur.

Bon nombre d'amateurs et professionnels connaissent de nom Lafleur, un des crus les plus célèbres et les plus chers de Bordeaux. Mais qui le connaît de l'intérieur ? Ce lieu est d'abord un jardin d'un peu plus de 4 ha 58, situé à côté de Petrus. Je vois Julie et Baptiste Guinaudeau comme ses arpenteurs. De cet endroit qu'ils chérissent et protègent, ils s'enrichissent d'idées, d'attitudes, de savoir-faire. Depuis une dizaine d'années, ils les repiquent à Grand Village, (AOC Bordeaux supérieur), à G Acte, leur absolue création (AOC Bordeaux supérieur) ou encore dans le bien nommé Champs Libres, cette autre innovation qui élève le niveau de considération des vins blancs secs à Bordeaux. Je connais peu de gens dans le Bordelais qui s'appliquent avec autant de précision, de naturel et d'enthousiasme à transmettre dans le goût du vin les messages de ces différentes terres.

Couleur sombre, intense et belle. Nez intense, fin, complexe, profond, pur et d’une grande séduction. Ultra minutieux à l’attaque, ultra fondant au développement, très, très parfumé, raffiné dans sa texture, avec du volume, cette stimulation déjà extraordinaire gagne une seconde vie après le milieu où tout le fruit s’exhale dans une profondeur de goût et une finesse de tannin nobles et parfaites. Persistance très complexe. Du très grand vin. Bravo ! Assemblage : 54 % bouchet, 46 % merlot. Degré d’alcool : 14°6 (moyenne) – pH : 3,73 (moyenne). 2030 – 2060"

"So subtle and complex with blackberry, blueberry, fresh bark, fresh black truffles and light wet earth, as well as forest floor. Full-bodied, yet linear and so long with an amazingly polished and refined tannin structure and finesse that draws you deep and down in the palate. It opens incredibly in the glass. What a wine. Goes on for minutes. A real beauty. Something so true and ethereal here. Try after 2026."

"The sweetness of fruit in the center palate is incredible with a ripe-plum and currant undertone. Very aromatic already. Full-bodied, tight and compressed with a tannin quality that folds beautifully into the wine. Incredible finish. Such, such power with finesse. Tight but glorious at this stage."

„The Grand Vin 2018 Château Lafleur from this magical terroir checks in as 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot that comes only from the more gravelly soils of the vineyard and spent 15 months in 25% new French oak. It's as good as any wine can get and has a layered, multi-dimensional style that marries power with elegance as only this estate can do. Offering notes of black raspberries, tobacco, truffly earth, spring flowers, and chocolate, it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, but nevertheless is as weightless as they come, offering this "je ne sais quoi" character that's hard to describe. It's more backward and reserved than the Pensées and is going to take a decade of bottle age to hit maturity, but it's a desert Island wine if there ever was one.“

„More deeply colored, the 2018 Lafleur is one heavenly barrel sample that’s certainly going to end up being one of the wines of the vintage. Based on 54% Cabernet Franc and 46% Merlot, all from the gravelly portions of the vineyard, it boasts a massive bouquet of smoked blue fruits, black raspberries, scorched earth, orange blossom, tobacco, and cocoa. Deep, full-bodied, yet weightless and seamless, with a Grand Cru Burgundy-like texture, it has a stacked mid-palate, fine tannins, and a great, great finish. While most wines from the vintage have plenty of upfront appeal, there’s a classic, backward style here that makes me think this will require a solid decade of cellaring.“

VINOUS

"The 2018 Lafleur is a stratospherically beautiful, deeply moving wine. A Pomerol of stunning aromatic intensity and depth, Lafleur simply has everything. All the elements come together in a wine that is both rich and yet also remarkably light on its feet. An exotic mélange of blood orange, sage, mint, sweet rose petal and inky red/purplish fruit add explosive energy, leading to a finish of substantial depth and resonance. Stated simply, Lafleur is one of the wines of the vintage. Don't miss it! "
