The 2018 Château Lafleur-Gazin Pomerol is a beautifully expressive Merlot-led Bordeaux from the heart of the Pomerol appellation. Benefiting from the warmth and generosity of the excellent 2018 vintage, the wine combines ripe fruit with the elegance and balance for which Pomerol is renowned. The nose opens with aromas of black cherry, blackberry and plum, complemented by violet, cedar, cocoa and subtle earthy spice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with silky tannins and vibrant acidity, creating a refined and harmonious structure. Flavours of ripe dark berries, liquorice and dark chocolate are layered with gentle French oak and hints of truffle and mineral notes, leading to a long, polished finish. The wine offers generous fruit while maintaining freshness and precision, making it enjoyable in its youth and rewarding with further bottle age.
Ben's Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those looking to explore the elegance and charm of Pomerol. Pair with beef fillet, roast lamb, duck breast, mushroom risotto or aged hard cheeses. Enjoy now with a short decant or cellar confidently for the next 10–15 years as it continues to develop additional complexity.
