2019 Chateau La Fleur Gazin Pomerol
2019 Chateau La Fleur Gazin Pomerol 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.
95 James Suckling: The texture to this is so polished and refined with chocolate, hazelnuts and dark fruit. It’s full-bodied, yet so refined and pretty.
94 Wine Enthusiast: This is a serious, rich wine that’s packed with black fruits and dense tannins. Richly endowed with both fruit and tannins, the wine is sure to age well.
93 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate: Displaying a deep garnet-purple color, the 2019 Lafleur-Gazin gives up bright, fresh notes of crushed black cherries, blackberries and newly collected blueberries with nuances of cassia, lilacs, oolong tea and forest floor. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers loads of mouth-coating fresh black berry notions, supported by plush tannins and a lively line, finishing long and fragrant. Pretty wine!
92 Decanter: Coffee, black chocolate, slate and clearly defined berry fruits. This is enjoyable, a little soft through the finish suggesting medium rather than long term drinking, but with a ton of Pomerol typicity and pleasure along the way.
91 Jeb Dunnuck: The 2019 Château Lafleur-Gazin showed nicely, with an elegant, seamless, classy style as well as textbook Pomerol notes of ripe red and black fruits, tobacco leaf, damp earth, and a hint of chocolate. Playing in the more elegant, seamless side of the spectrum, it still has solid mid-palate depth and outstanding length. It will drink nicely for at least 15 years. Best after 2022.
